Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Doing some soul searching, and Id like to do it on the road.
ABOUT ME
21 and out for some adventure. My dad once stuck out his thumb with nothing but 20 dollars in his pocket and a sense of adventure. He made it all the way from California to Cuba, developing Rabbit Fever... he passed that onto me.
Will be biking the US on a 9000 mile journey come July 3rd. Blogging here

Also soliciting donations. Half will benefit Filipino Youth Coalition, a non profit aimed at providing an outlet for at risk kids.

I love a good book, and Im always in when it comes to a Saturday bike ride down a trail. Trying to teach myself guitar (Its... coming along), though I might trade it in for a cajon.
Right now Im big into the music scene. They are such great times, I do my best to make it out. I will be seeing August Burns Red when they come to SF.
Im all about getting out and having a good time. If you are around and enjoy climbing, let me know! I need a belayer buddy for the gym I frequent.
PHILOSOPHY
A belief in people, in yourself, and that the only thing to make you happy is you. Materialistically, im better off than most of the world (Though Im a minimalist) its realizing that its not what you have, but being happy with what you do.
