CURRENT MISSION

We want this world to know that we're alive!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Joe. I'm 24, American albeit world citizen, and chill as fuckkkkkk, son. I love traveling and meeting people. I can fly for free (my father used to be a pilot) so I take advantage of this and try to see a little more of the world whenever I can.I go to university in Chicago, majoring in International Studies and studying Asian Studies and some other irrelevant things. I don't really spend much time with my studies though. Outside of school, I like to converse with friends, party, meet people, explore my city, take photos (mainly portraits), listen to obscure music, go to karaoke, carpe diem, and surf me some internets :3
