Back in February, I took a spontaneous solo cross-country road trip out West, USA. Out of the 39 days I was on the road, I was accommodated for 38 days--during half of which by strangers. The only night I had to airbnb was my second night in Kanab, UT. Note that this was before I started CS. Twelve states and 7,000 miles of driving later, I just got back to Texas at the beginning of April.

During this trip, I formed a ton of new friendships with my kind hosts and other travelers from all walks of life. Through travel, I was able to learn about and live in new cultures and believes and also explore/form my own identity.

"4 Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss is my all time favorite book. It is my inspiration to world traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was adventurous (dumb) enough to touch the edge of an unofficial viewpoint in Canyonlands (Moab, UT) and was inches away from falling down a 5,800 ft tall cliff. Since that day, I promised myself to live life like today is my last.

Travel hacking: born and raised in a cash economy, I waited until May 2015 to open my first credit card--a Discover It with $1,500 in credit limit as no other banks would have approved me.

In less than two years, I have opened 10+ credit cards and checking accounts and earned over 250,000 points and miles worth $3,500+ in free flights, all while maintaining an excellent credit score. When we connect, I will teach you how to do the same step by step.
