CURRENT MISSION ABOUT ME Back in the US after living abroad for most of the past 12 years. South Korea 4 years, Australia 7 and lots of bouncing around in between. Love meeting fellow travelers sharing stories and experiences. Human connection is what I live for and experiencing different cultures is my favorite way to do so. Also coffee. I’m a coffee connoisseur and an unabashed snob. I was spoiled living in Australia for so long 🤷🏻♂️ PHILOSOPHY Trust your instincts. Fortune favours the bold. Self discovery through challenge and adversity.
