CURRENT MISSION

If you never slow down, you'll never grow old.

ABOUT ME

I went to college right after high school (within 4 days) and lost my modivation to continue my studies. So I figured that this would be the best time to go out and travel like I have always wanted. I have been to Europe a couple of times, but I really want to go and see some things here in the States, South America, a little of Africa, Australia, and of course more of Europe. I have a daughter who is just under a year old, and I would love for her to travel with me, and I can teach her everything I know.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want now, take what you want now, see what you want to see and live the way you want to now. You will never be here in this moment again. Remember, youth and vitality are short lived-Most oppurtunities never come around twice.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone you have ever or will ever come in contact with will somehow alter your life. There is a reason that you like the kind of music that you listen to, and clean your house a certain way, and have the opinions and morals that you have, its because of somebody thats been in your life that has influenced it in a certain way.

So, I want to meet anyone in the world that can change my life, and in order to do that I must meet everyone.
