CURRENT MISSION

Travel to at least 1-2 new countries every year and keep learning more about cuisine/alcohol/customs of other countries.

ABOUT ME

I love doing things out of the ordinary and am addicted to trying new things. I frequently feel a need to leave Pittsburgh and become immersed in a completely different culture.

I'm not so fond of traditional art/monuments/museums and such. When I travel, I want to eat at unique restaurants, try new alcohol, and talk to people about cultural expectations and differences. I value making new friends over traditional tourist tasks. True story, I neglected seeing the Great Wall of China and left the Forbidden City after 30 minutes because I simply wasn't interested.

PHILOSOPHY

Mostly utilitarian. I believe objectivity and subjectivity are present in every thing, everywhere, and that each person has his or her own standing on what they are attuned to more.
