If there were 3 words to define the meaning of life it's JOY.

I'm currently living in La Verkin, Utah but I'm from Los Angeles and I've also lived in New York, Idaho, Texas, and Japan. And places I've traveled to are London, Italy, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and all over the US. My Grandfather John Goddard is a famous explorer/adventurer who was the first person to kayak the Nile and Congo rivers and he traveled to almost every country in the world (182/196) and I'm trying my best to continue his legacy and love of adventure.
