About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and hear people's stories... everyone has something interesting about their life.

ABOUT ME

I am willing to spend money on three main things - travel, sports/outdoor activities, and food. I love the outdoors and get a lot of happiness from helping people. I am not much of a writer... hence the short descriptions.

PHILOSOPHY

This life is all I've got - might as well fill it with awesome activities and good people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of Moroccan cooking, but just a bit.
