CURRENT MISSION

Currently trying to make it across the United States in a 1990 Volvo 240 station wagon. Can't wait to see where I end up.

ABOUT ME

Pretty typical American millennial - overeducated and looking to delay adulthood for a few more years. Had the travel bug for a while, and finally decided to scratch that itch by driving across the country.

Some would say I'm friendly and kind, very polite and genuine, a little shy, that I possess a deft use of sarcasm and seem intelligent.

PHILOSOPHY

"Wisdom is nothing more profound than an ability to follow one's own advice."

- Sam Harris
