About Me

I'm pretty flexible and accommodating.
I'm an outgoing introvert.
I try to Leave No Trace in my life and travels, but I try to make as many friends and memories as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, so I try to have a good time no matter what.
World is big, but I try to see a bit at a time.
I am insignificant, but I try to leave a positive impact, one baby step (or baby flop) at a time.
