CURRENT MISSION

To see, learn, live.

ABOUT ME

I'm 25, and at the moment I'm fulfilling one of my life dreams, to take an extended motorcycle trip. I'm originally from Los Angeles and that is currently the point of return, though that can change. I've always had the travel bug but felt it proper to start in my home before moving to other destinations.
I laugh because I enjoy the company of others. I find it hard to speak about myself the first couple of hours but tend to open up rather well. I answer questions better than speak about myself, I don't know if that is a good thing. I love the look on people's faces when they speak of something that they truly are passionate about, that right there is the best part of conversations to me.

And I try to keep a blog updated

PHILOSOPHY

Life is simple, the hard part is keeping it that way. I try to learn everyday, when you feel you've learned it all you have stopped living.
