CURRENT MISSION

To live, to learn, to travel

ABOUT ME

I believe the world is a better place than the media portrays it to be. I wandered aimlessly for a few years, with extended stays in Denver and San Francisco. I am fortunate to have a decent job in Chicago now, but the travel bug persists.

PHILOSOPHY

Life experience is much more important than material objects. but iPhones are cool
