CURRENT MISSION

I want to go climbing in France, Argentina, and South Africa

ABOUT ME

I was born in Madison, WI and have been in the Madison area my entire life. I go to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and I study Atmospheric Science. I don't know what I want to do in life but I'll get there eventually. My favorite activity to do is go rock climbing. Its my passion, I am totally obsessed with it. Every opportunity I get will either be at the climbing gym or the crag.

I have a sense of humor and I get along with most everyone I meet. I'm pretty chill and I don't get stressed out very easily. I love eating good food and doing cool things. I'd prefer to go find a spot in the woods than go to a mall. I'd rather experience the area I am visiting in a way that allows me a glimpse of what its like to live there than to go to all of the tourist destinations.

I am up for anything and I will listen to anything anyone has to say. My knowledge of the world is pretty small, and that is one of my biggest regrets so far.

PHILOSOPHY

I seek to explore and understand the world around me. I hope to gain as much knowledge about as much as I can. I value experiences over material possessions, in an effort to understand what I'm about, and where I'm headed. I will remember every place I have been and every person I have met(will forget your name, sorry!) but I won't remember the grade I got in that one class, or those days sitting at my desk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing to the summit of South Arapaho in the Indian Peak Wilderness of Colorado is my most proud achievement. After hours of scary, difficult snow climbing, to finally stand on top of my goal was awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn more about traveling and the secrets to doing it right. I also wouldn't mind learning how to use a camera to take cool pictures.

I am willing to teach people about my interests and anything that I have some knowledge on.

I love sharing stories, I love hearing about people's crazy adventures.
