ABOUT ME

I love to travel. Have been to Europe, New Zealand, Cuba, Central America and hitchhiked around Alaska and Canada. Currently finishing up school in January in Geology, and will be saving up for an epic trip around Central and South America

PHILOSOPHY

One life to live
If everyone in the world threw there problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back
