CURRENT MISSION

To explore the unexplored

ABOUT ME

I was 17 when I boarded my first plane--a one-way, 14-hour flight to Ghana--and ever since then, traveling's become a big part of my life! And I fell in love with exploring the kinds of places most people don't want to go to :P

PHILOSOPHY

The world belongs to the brave.
