CURRENT MISSION

To wander the world from adventure to adventure in search of the unknown.

ABOUT ME

I'm a travel obsessed wanderer constantly looking for the next adventure, the next story, and the next place. We live in a big beautiful world full of incredible people and places. My goal is to see as many as them as possible and along the way meet people who are passionate, caring, and also searching for the next new experience. I've traveled to more than 50 countries across 6 continents and have no plan on stopping anytime soon.

PHILOSOPHY

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain
