I'm 27 and live in San Diego. I come from a very underprivileged home in Detroit, Michigan. My family migrated there before I was born. I speak 4 languages and want to pick up 1 or 2 more. I worked really hard to get into w good university only to fall into a very cut throat industry of investment banking on walstreet. I decided last minute to terminate my offers and live a lifestyle by design in San Diego, California.

I landed an amazing opportunity and after two years I've decided to travel for 6 months to a year so that I can enrich myself with the joys of life that most Americans don't understand. Language, culture, arts, history, taking risks these are all things that help shape you into a better more confident and humble human being. I aspire to become greater by understanding each and everyone of you more and more.
