About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the untouched surfaces of the world and touch them.

ABOUT ME

Without hesitating, I will run out into the rain and bounce around like a freakin' idiot. I sold my bed for travel money. I seriously don't know how to take a compliment. I turn red in the face. Food is the best way to my heart. My life goal is to visit every country in the world. I make strange noises all the time. When I lay down for bed, it takes me 30 minutes to fall asleep. I can be a bit awkward. People watching is my favorite hobby. My cat is a real person to me. My bike is my only mode of transportation. I get sentimental around campfires. I am thankful that I can easily pee outside. Occasionally, my intelligence outweighs my oddities.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is essential
