About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit every country in world!

ABOUT ME

I am very adventurous. I am all about going to new places and experiencing new things. I love to meet new people and learn about new cultures. Different languages, different music, different food, different people...it's all great! I may go to the Peace Corps which will take me to the South Pacific Islands in the May 2009 for 2 years or to graduate school in October 2009 in England. I'm also trying to plan a thru-hike of the AT(Appalachian Trail) which may be possible this March/April if I can find some willing participants.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short, get out and live. That sounds cliche. How about: Your life is your own, do what makes you happy and things you can look back on and feel fulfilled.
