CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to see as much of the world, and appreciate as much of the world as possible. Having only recently had the freedom to pursue the calling of traveling, I am starting off with a pair of unused shoes and a journal both soon to be used!

ABOUT ME

I am a guy who likes learning, imagination, and good food. I study biomedical science but am also interested in philosophy, history, art, music from classical to pop, and the different cultures of the world. I am on the quest of continuous self improvement and self reflection, so that I can be the best person I can be. I want to meet awesome people, who like to have fun, but also appreciate the wonderful world that we live in. Dancing and eating good food are some of my favorite activities next to running, playing soccer, and reading.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life so that I learn more about the world. I love learning the quirky factoid blurbs that come up in life that one never expects. I love the concept of Evolution and think about it quite often. I plan on helping as many people in my lifetime as possible and want to become a doctor to help those in need, especially in impoverished parts of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been in airports for 37 hours straight....but truthful, spending the night in Wadi Rum desert in Jordan is the most beautiful thing I have seen, closely followed by exploring Petra.

Teach, Learn, Share

The Cranial Nerves of the brain can be remembered by this phrase: "On, On, On They Traveled And Found Voldemort Guarding Very Secret Horocruxes." After studying anatomy all last semester, my brain is still full of this stuff. It translates into: Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Glossopharangeal, Vegas, Spinal Accessory, and Hypoglossal....So thats my fun little party trick!

I'd love to know more about the individual cultures of Europe and how history has contributed to the formation of their current state in today's world....a big one I know, but this is what I am interested in!!
