CURRENT MISSION

To visit the world while learning about local cultures

ABOUT ME

I worked in Philadelphia for 3.5 years at a public accounting firm before accepting a rotation to Luxembourg for 1.5 years. Now before returning to Philadelphia, I have a 10 month leave of absence to travel around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb." — Nelson Mandela

Through the travel I've done thus far, it's opened my eyes to a lot in the world. I know that this will happen many times over the next few months, especially when I do volunteer work.

After my 9 months of travel, I will become a host upon my return to Philadelphia.
