About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my travels!

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a pretty relaxed, friendly guy.

Like everyone else here, I love travelling and going on adventures. I think the best way to make decisions is 'what would make the best story'.

I like to learn about people's stories. What were their craziest times, what's on their bucket list, etc..

PHILOSOPHY

Always trust yourself. Enjoy yourself. You can learn something great from anyone, so try and listen..

I like the quote from Steve Jobs:
" You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. "

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been pretty lucky and have been able to witness and experience some pretty beautiful things so far :)

Once saw a group of dolphins jumping around in the waves while surfing out in California...awesome.

I have spent 2 weeks hiking and exploring rural Mongolia.

Spontaneous outings with locals who don't speak your language is always a confusing, but great time.

Once I did a 10 day silent meditation retreat (Vipassana) in the Phillippines. One of the most challenging things I've ever done.
