About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the Unknown

ABOUT ME

I have been a very curious kid and always up for adventure and exploration, but as I have come to notice, I also am very susceptible to the comforts of routine and safety. Deep down I can feel that there is this risky, energetic and explosive side to me that is itching for a shot at the world and I would really like to come to know that person better. There are multiple parts of my personality that have been stifled due to fears, discomfort, and conformity, but I wish to change that through exploration of the world and myself. The biggest push for me to quit procrastinating and start my travels came from a 10 day Vipassana meditation course that I took just a month ago. It gave me a practice that taught me the ability to calm my mind and listen to my body. It was an eye opening experience that showed me just how little I knew about myself. While at this course I also had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people that had done many travels and their stories gave me the courage to try and make it all a reality for myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the goodness of people. If everyone is able to work together we can make this world habitable and positive for all living things. In order for that to happen tho people must be willing to come out of ignorance and find the truth within themselves to make positive action for everyone, not just themselves.
