About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore as many places, meet as many people, and learn as many things as humanly possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 28 year old film and politics writer/student/traveler from new york city. I spent a semester in prague (hence the verification) and a semester in amsterdam but I live back in NY now. I think it's fair to say I'm a pretty easy going and fun guy who likes have a good time however that may manifest itself.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to have as good a time as possible and try to help others do the same.
