About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as I can before I go to law school.

ABOUT ME

I was a business major at Emory. I play guitar and a little piano. I grew up in a beach town before going to High School in North Carolina. In college, I studied abroad in Prague and absolutely loved it. After college, I taught abroad in the suburbs of Seoul, South Korea. Now I am living in Montevideo (I've been here since Feb 2012) before going to law school in August 2013.

PHILOSOPHY

"I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine"
-Atlas Shrugged

I just started, but I'm open to getting coffee or drinks with a fellow traveler.

My friends have raved about it so I thought I should create an account.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Mardi Gras three years.

Boryeong Mud Festival in Boryeong, South Korea. I had never heard of it before I went to Korea, but it is one of the best times of my entire life. Check it out.

After I finished my contract in Korea, I did a six week tour through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and parts of China. I met a lot of great people and had a blast.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's harder to travel when you own a lot of stuff.

Nothing is stopping you from moving to your dream city (unless that city's in North Korea).
