ABOUT ME:

I am Jack McEachern from Upstate New York. I was supposed to be going to college this year but I couldn't handle the thought of writing another essay! So I packed my things and now I'm off to see the world! I enjoy learning new cultures and would love to learn yours. I love to listen to music, sometimes make my own, read, talk, explore, write down my thoughts, swim, dance, and just about everything else you can think of!

MY MISSION:

Before I left an older friend told me, "People can have 10 perfect moments in their life. I have had 8 perfect moments in my life, and 5 of them were when I was traveling. Some people don't even have 10 perfect moments in their life because perfect moments have to be found. So go and find them". So this year I'm on a pursuit! I will live my life to the fullest!!

PHILOSOPHY:

Everybody has a story to tell. My mission this year is to hear everyones story. I believe even the most dull people have wisdom to share. I'm here to listen!
