CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking in SE Asia

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 years old, from Saint Louis, MO, USA. I recently quit my professional job and am embarking on a backpacking trip through Southeast Asia alone.

I'm extremely independent, laid back, and very interested in experiencing the local cultures along with the tourist attractions in the area. Additionally, I'm looking to possibly volunteer and settle down for a while if the right opportunity presents itself.

I also love trying new things and am completely open to new experiences!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to it's fullest! One of my favorite quotes is "Make your life an exclamation, not an explanation"
