ABOUT ME
I hate writing descriptions about myself b/c I'm cooler in person than anything I could convey through writing (I'm not the best writer)
I have red hair so that's unique.
I work online and am very lucky to be able to travel.
Right now I'm very interested in meeting people in the different cities I travel or live in. I would rather get recommendations from people that actually live there instead of relying on guidebooks.
Talking to strangers and actually getting to know people has led me to so many adventures that reading latest guidebook just could never do.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm too young and confused to figure this out. But some philosophies I try to follow:
You don't know as much as you think. Nobody does.
Don't whine, complain, or talk too much.
Always be interested in other ppl, who they are, and what they are doing.
Everyone has a story. Everyone has a struggle. And everyone needs help along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ecuador:
#1 Spent a week island hopping the Galapagos Islands.
#2 Mountain biked down the tallest active volcano in the world (Cotopaxi)
#3 Swimming underneath a waterfall (doesn't sound cool, but it was one of the most awesome things I did on the trip)
#4 Watching thunderstorm in the over the Amazon
Teach, Learn, Share
I have much to contribute but can't exactly nail down specifics.
I do know quite a bit about teaching english. But that doesnt do much for somebody who already knows english, but I could give great tips and resources on teaching english.
Marketing and PR, growth strategy, scaling a good thing online ;)
Living on a budget, I've become a decent cook and could probably teach a thing or two about different meals.
I have also acquired a small bit of wisdom throughout my travels and education.
