CURRENT MISSION

Mini-adventure, Somewhere, USA

ABOUT ME

I LOVE traveling and also enjoy having fun with outdoor activities, curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee, or going out and having a crazy night on the town with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

If I could get paid to travel around the world exploring cities, hiking, and hanging out with adventurous people then I'd be living the dream.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After I graduated undergrad I traveled around New Zealand, Australia, and Europe for three months. I learned a lot about myself and the world around me. I can't wait to travel again and experience more of the cultures outside of the US. The world is a big place and there are lots of people out there just waiting to be met.

Bungee jumping 134 meters in NZ was the craziest thing I've ever done. And I want to do it again!

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. ~Mark Twain
