One day, I decided that I wanted to give up everything to travel the world - long term. So, I donated everything that I owned and sold my car. I hit the road in June of 2016 and haven't looked back.

I determined that living a life full of joy, mystery, and excitement is a much more interesting to me than my previous lifestyle.

I am a Travel Vlogger on YouTube. My primary goal is to spend time with local people of all ages and make a video about our activity. Sometimes, the local person wants to share popular local food with me, an activity at their favorite location, or something unique activity within their city. All are great choices. While we experience this together, I will record this interaction and turn it in to a YouTube story that can be watched by the world.

Are you fun/kind/caring?
Are you trustworthy?
Do you enjoy an adventure?
Do you have an interesting activity ideas?
Are you OK with being on camera?
Are you OK with being seen by potentially tens of thousands of people?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, then feel free to send me a message. BE SURE to include all of the details about what activity you have in mind!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Traveled to South Africa, alone, when I was 16 and stayed for a month with friends that I had met only a year, prior. Pretty neat experience!

- Many locals in the Philippines told me NOT to go to a certain area of the city because it was dangerous. I decided to go anyway. I met some of the most friendly and kind people ever! I went back for a Christmas party and New Years party with them. It was an experience I will never forget!

- Lived in an impoverished stilt-homed coastal village in the Philippines for 3 weeks to experience culture. Such an amazing experience!

- Taught English to thousands of students in rural Vietnam.

- Volunteered at an impoverished school in rural India for 2 months.
