CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a thoroughly ridiculous person, and despite my age, I'm young at heart. I've seen only a small section of the world, and it's made me curious to see even more.
I've lead an fairly unusual life, and would love to trade stories with others, and learn more about the people that inhabit the planet.

PHILOSOPHY

In a lot of ways, US society and the norms perpetuated by it are entirely ridiculous. It's not that I don't want any part in it overall, but I want to have the freedom and space to develop myself in the arena of world culture rather than strictly US culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandered around downtown Kuwait City. Even if it was temporally fleeting, the experience was amazing...walking around in a completely difference culture was really eye opening.
