About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world as much as possible. Live life to the fullest, seeking every opportunity to learn about other cultures so please indulge me with your stories - I'm all ears.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, I would love to make a career out of traveling and seeing the sights of this world. I want to bring happiness into people's lives and so my goal is to work for human rights and advocating for equal opportunities regardless of race/gender/socioeconomic status/etc. I am an environmental activist, fighting to save planet earth and preserve resources. I live frugally and simply and life is a lot better this way.

Also, I am a world class photo taker. I recently purchased a Nikon DSLR and fell in love with it, so I take many many many pictures of my life. I don't know what I would do without photographs. I love seeing the world in the perspective of a camera lens and capturing every moment of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Live today like there's no tomorrow.
Be your best that you can be, because you never know who you're going to meet today.
Inspiration: Ben Carson

Because I am a student, I will not be able to house people as I live in a teeny tiny dorm. However, if anyone is in the MA area (which is where i go to school), I would love to show you around and simply hang out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled all around cambodia for three months, but I was most amazed when I arrived at the slums of the Battambang Province. People seemed so happy although they lived without electricity, irrigation, or sanitation. People interacted with each other more without the distractions of smart phones and television sets; Families seemed to work together seamlessly; The sense of community was so strong in this area. Plus it was cool how I barely saw any cars, it was just a whole lot of motos merging together, with no traffic signals, signs or direction.

Countries I’ve Visited
