About Me

CURRENT MISSION

2 weeks in Europe starting on June 14th

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college graduate who's traveling to Europe starting June 14th. I've never been outside of North America (and the farthest I've been is Virginia and Montreal). And this will be my first time on an airplane.

I consider myself a laid back, introspective guy. I like to listen and hear stories, but I will be the first to admit that I'm not great at telling them.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm hoping to figure it out when I'm in Europe.
