About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A life changing experience

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors and everything it has to offer from the red wood trees in California to the jungles of Thailand. I am very adventurous/outgoing and enjoy exploring the natural world. I have an unusual fascination with anything underground, ancient ruins, watching construction projects.

I am a quiet person, very observant, shy at times but outgoing at others, always smiling, generous, caring and kind.
