Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to explore new places and try new things. I´m tired of working a 9-6 job and want to live a spontaneous, unpredictable and unroutined life.
ABOUT ME
I am 25 and from Houston, TX. I lived in Miami for six years, but moved back to Texas last year. I love to travel and have backpacked all around South America and various parts of Europe. My goal is to have traveled around the world by the time I'm 30 (this probably means quitting my job at some point...).
I´m always up for meeting new people and trying new things. I want learn about new cultures and countries but not just from a guide book. The local perspective and insight is always better.
I like to party, but can also just lay low. I´m easy-going and get along with just about anyone.
