I am a 31 year old International Explorer who loves to learn and have fun doing it. I have been traveling the world since i was 14 and have no desire to stop any time soon. I enjoy seeing new places and meeting new people and have been very fortunate in my travels so far. I studied Marketing and International Business at California State University, Long Beach and was fortunate to study Spanish at the Universidad de Alicante in Spain for most of 2010. After graduating from school in Argentina, I backpacked through South America seeing so many awesome sights and then came back to America only to move to NYC. I currently am an online English teacher and real estate agent which gives me the opportunity to travel and work at the same time.

CURRENT MISSION

To explore every corner of the world while trying to unify culture and civilization in my mind

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to not get stuck in the box. Once you are there it is so hard to climb out of it that most people fall back in and just accept the fact that they wont get out. I have never lived in that box. Spontaneity is one of the main things that keeps you free. Traveling, learning another language, seeing other cultures, meeting more open minded people, working doing what you love not what you think you need to do to make money. Go to school, become more educated, and in the end it will all pay off. I love my life and the only reason is because i am able to do many if not all of the things that i have listed above.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done so many amazing things already in my life including hiking the great wall of China and the Swiss Alps, visiting the ruins of Pompeii and the Acropolis in Athens, petting a wild koala and kangaroo in Australia, living in Spain for a year learning Spanish, finding hidden lakes in Norway and seeing the architecture of Prague, backpacking all of South America and seeing Machu Picchu and the Salar de Uyuni, and going on 14 day road trips across Europe seeing 8 countries and 15 major cities, and just recently road-tripped across America from coast to coast stopping at the grand canyon for a pic with my friend wearing a dog suit and a bunny suit.... Always looking for more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could tell you about so many awesome cultures I have gotten to see, maybe sing a song for you if you get me drunk or cook some delicious food with you. In return all I ask is to share your culture with me and be willing to have a good time and an open mind to try something new.
