CURRENT MISSION

Trying to take as much of the study out of study abroad as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going and outgoing guy from the United States. I'm studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France for the semester and just trying to see as much of the world as possible before I have to ship back to the confine that is the U.S. I try to go with the flow as much as possible, and am pretty much down for any type of travel experience. I like to think I'm a pretty smart guy, respectful of others and their mentalities, but am still pretty opinionated.

PHILOSOPHY

2 quotes I like:

"What's the point of waking up in the morning if you don't try to match the enormousness of the known forces in the world with something powerful in your own life?"
-Don Delillo

"Is it not finer to sizzle whole in the flame of freedom than to slowly stew to pieces in one's own diminishing juices?"
-Tom Robbins

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
