CURRENT MISSION

Keep living a life I love.

ABOUT ME

Travel is the most wonderful thing I've discovered so far in life. I think it's great to be able to go somewhere new and not really know what's going on, but still look at it for what it is and appreciate the beauty of all the differences between where you are and the place you call home.

That said, I haven't done nearly enough traveling in my life, but I keep telling myself that I will soon change that.

PHILOSOPHY

As Anderson Cooper said: "You can't expect to sit behind a desk your whole life and know anything about the world. You have to see it, smell it, live it."

My personal philosophy: The world will eventually become a better place if our generation can get out there and learn that we're all a lot more similar than we are different and instill that notion in future generations.
