About Me

CURRENT MISSION

shake the dust

PHILOSOPHY

"All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.

But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they dream their dreams with open eyes, and make them come true."

-D.H. Lawrence

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen beautiful castles in Copenhagen, and I have also seen some of the poorest slums in Central America. I will continue to travel because it is this aspect of the world that fascinates me: the ability to see great beauties and at the same time great injustices. It is my hope to continue to experience as much as possible so that I can one day make a difference.
