CURRENT MISSION

See as many places as possible. Learn as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

Not really a whole lot to say. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I consider myself to be fairly laid back and easy going. I enjoy exploring abandoned places and going to punk gigs. I've been cooking for 7 years and I really love my trade. I seize any opportunity to learn about types of food. I think eating the food someone prepares is the best way to learn about them and their culture.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to travel and see new places. I want to learn about everything. I want to leave no country unvisited, no ruins unexplored and no food uneaten.
