CURRENT MISSION

Some people live by the moto that life is short and we aren't getting any younger, but the truth is, life is long and I am young, so there's no hurry to get caught up in the real world. I want to travel and meet people, no plans just adventures!

ABOUT ME

I am a 21 year old college student at the University of Montana, currently taking some time off to explore Europe. Relatively new at this 'traveling' thing, but in love with it and inspired daily to see more places and meet people. In the summers I guide whitewater rafting trips in Montana and Idaho, USA. I have no real plan for the future, the thought makes me nervous, it's hard enough living in the moment. My only real priority at the moment is seeing a little more of the world and gaining some perspective and experience while I have the chance. If not now, when?

PHILOSOPHY

My mission is to never lose the drive to learn, I hope to always think of myself as a "perpetual student of life" and to never stop being amazed at how exciting life can be and how lucky I am.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all sorts of music, prefer the live kind ;-)
I also love to read, but don't particularly enjoy fiction, I prefer a good biography and nerdy science books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's a tie between skydiving and sea kayaking in Baja last year. Free falling is my favorite feeling but the scenery in Baja was incredible as well. Being on the water before the sun was up and watching it rise above the end of the earth, turning the entire sea bright red and orange, it was surreal. Being on the ocean has this amazing ability to make a person feel really small and insignificant, I don't mind that feeling so much.
