About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience new places. Meet great people.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going guy. I recently left my job to travel around the world and meet wonderful people. I have an insatiable curiosity for new places, cultures, and people. I love to spend my time in coastal places. I am also mildly addicted to caffein and surfing.

PHILOSOPHY

Always test your beliefs & values. Always fail better.
