About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit every country in the world and learn a new recipe from each.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, I hope to visit every country at some point in my life, currently at somewhere near 60- still plenty to do. I have been teaching English for 5 years- Istanbul, Los Angeles, and Seoul.

I also love to cook, i try to learn a new recipe everywhere i go, and fitness- a bit obsessed with working out.
Im always down to meet new people and hang out, preferably over a nargile/ hookah or a beer.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live as if each day were your last"
