CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and meet as many people worldwide that i can. Together we can make a difference.

ABOUT ME

Somehow Ive been to about 25 countries and I am now living just outside Dubai. I decided to start working while i travelled so I began teaching overseas. It started in Saudi Arabia, then Oman, and now the United Arab Emirates. Im currently doing the full time job thing teaching at a University but that lil itch to leave it all and get back out on the open road is always whispering in my ear.... lets see what this year brings :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live everday like its your last.

Life is only as boring as you make it.

Dont look back on the past, but instead dream towards the future.

Never stop living in the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 1995 my first trip was to Puerto Vallarta Mexico with my mom and dad. Thats where it all started.In 1997 I moved to Hawaii. In 2001 i travelled around the US for 4 months. I lived in a 1971 vw van in hawaii for a year just for fun. In 2007 i traveled the US and europe for 8 weeks. In 2008 I travelled to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Thailand for 3 months. I still live in Honolulu 11 years later and am still planning my next adventure....update: i have now left honolulu hawaii after 14 years and have ended up teaching english in Saudi Arabia. I love my life as always
