About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a source of positive energy, value, and inspiration for those around me .

ABOUT ME

I have had an ever growing desire to travel and see the entire world. The more I think about travelling to various places, the more I realize there are so many other places I would like to visit.

I am an avid baseball and volleyball player...and a huge fan of the game. I was fortunate enough to visit Yankee Stadium before it was torn down for a more expensive version! I also burn to play beach volleyball as much as possible!

I am easy going. I like to think I take things as they come. I am not huge on getting to a place, but rather the adventure I go through to reach my destination! I've heard a lot of great stories about surfing random couches...and I couldnt think of a better way to meet new people from around the world

PHILOSOPHY

Living is in the journey, not the destination

Be the change you want to see in the world

Love the life you live and live the life you love.
