About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and get the most out of the places I wish to visit.

ABOUT ME

I have a passion for adventure as most people on here do, exploring, and trying new things whenever I get the chance. I'm candid with a good sense of humor and am easy to get along with. I have a lot to be grateful for, but I believe I've earned every fortune that has come my way. Honesty and loyalty are very important to me and entitlement is a flaw I hope I don't portray to others.

PHILOSOPHY

"Tough times don't last, tough people do"

Try everything.

Exercising, reading, cooking, yoga, mountain biking, rock climbing, swimming, shredding paper, recycling, skiing, eating food, kayaking, sitting outside, long conversations, thrift stores, music, arts and crafts, drinking with friends, coming up with one line of a rap, reading social media comments,

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy many types of music, especially more contemporary sounds. I listen to a lot of Hip-Hop/rap, dubstep, indie rock, acoustic covers, country, classic rock, and a few other random genres from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the coolest and most exciting things I have done while traveling is open water solo rock climbing throughout the Koh Phi Phi islands in Thailand. The guide was chill and it was a rush climbing to 8-15 meters before jumping in the crystal clear waters!

Teach, Learn, Share

It never hurts to ask! You will be surprised what can happen for you if you simply ask. USUALLY the worst that can happen is someone says "no", and everyone should be comfortable enough with themselves to get turned down from time to time.

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Turkey

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
