CURRENT MISSION

To meet other people from different countries..To not be a regular backpacking gringo!

ABOUT ME

I consider myself to be someone very independent and strong willed, someone who loves to make people laugh and then laugh along with them..im pretty go with the flow, with travelling, i dont ever have a set itinerary, im a relaxed north american! if i say im going to do something, i do it..i always say about travelling, all you have do to is buy the plane ticket, and then you figure out the rest..its that simple!

PHILOSOPHY

whatever doesnt kill you, makes you stronger..
If you want to be comfortable, stay at home
do unto as others do unto you
