About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build something great!!

ABOUT ME

I am at the University of Florida working with brain implants. I like it here and hope to make some great things.

I am also the host of the 'Travel Wisdom ' podcast about how travel can be more than a vacation but a learning experience, give a listen! :)

PHILOSOPHY

you are never too young to do anything. let go of fear and do exactly what that little voice in your head says you should do...no regrets!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have backpacked through about 100 countries. although i feel extremely privileged to have experienced so much (with so much more to come) i feel that everybody should and can very easily do what i did. get a drink in my hand and i might just tell you some stories :)

I love starting new things. Especially things that I saw in other places. I see myself as a person that brings cool things to new places
