ABOUT ME https://www.instagram.com/mattycomes/ Advice from my father "Don't do it or don't get caught, I dont care which it is." I believe in dedication focus on a new hobby or exploration every year. https://www.instagram.com/mattycomes/ I started being serious about New Year’s resolutions in 2012 and it has changed my life. So here’s the list. 2012: skydiving license 2013: Dine @ every Chicago @michelinguide starred restaurant 2014: complete an @ironmantri 2015: scuba cert in Bali 2016: paragliding license on Fuji 2017: Free diving cert and swim w whales in Tonga 2018: train and hike JMT 2019: Move to Italy. (cheating, I know) 2020: make 100 ice creams 2021: make 50 donuts and pastries. hike TMB 2022: therapy. Hike Peaks of the Balkans 2023: sobriety. Hike via Alta 1. Hike RTRTR. 2024: swim everyday. Learn to surf. 2025: mile every day and take dance lessons. PHILOSOPHY Personal philosophy "I will do things I like with people I dont, and things I dont like with people I do." Avoid semicolons. When someone invites you somewhere, never ask who else is coming. Dinner will be from scratch at my house and you are always welcome. Letters are personal and romantic and I love them. I want to live in a world where there is no need to lock a door.

My Interests
Cooking, witty conversations, board games, hiking, running, meeting people, reading, traveling, Live music, trying new things. competition. I love when other people have a passion for life. I am jealous of people who can pick up languages easily, what a skill. If I could have a super power it would be to have the ability to communicate in every language. I would also like perfect pitch and a photographic memory... as long as we are being hypothetical.
