CURRENT MISSION

My mission is really just to travel and see all the places and speak to all the people that I've constantly heard about in my life and find out just how the world is for myself by participating in many different samples of life opportunities.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young Texan that just graduated college and is looking for some fun adventure and traveling and hope to catch some fish and some waves along the way and learn lots of cool new life tips and tricks and tidbits of knowledge to help mold and shape my life to pass onto to my peers.

During and after college I did some sailing with my friends from Texas to Florida and then from Puerto Rico to Dominican Republic, Southern Bahamas (where we camped on an uninhabited island Little Inagua), and onward to Key West, Florida.

Here's a short video from our time on the uninhabited island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QN1W577mMI

PHILOSOPHY

As of now, my personal philosophy is to run as fast as I can away from the common American meme of going to college, graduating, finding a girlfriend, getting a job, getting married, moving to the city (or even worse the suburbs or some podunk town), getting a dog, getting a house, having a child, growing old and dying. These are all things I'll probably do in my life (except marriage, life partners only for me) however I feel like I have so much more to see and do before I settle down, and actually just want to learn how best to meld the two. So, I will take it upon myself to read the greatest books, take the greatest adventures, eat the greatest food, have the greatest romances, grow the greatest food, love the most, become self sustainable, and most importantly to share the love I find from this path so this meme can be passed forth and replace some of the more worn out ones.

Teach, Learn, Share

1)Currently working with cryptocurrencies and enjoying them quite a bit! Such interesting and resourceful technology. If you're prepared to be blown away then Google: "Blockchain technology"
2)I love learning philosophy and helping people question their beliefs and helping them help me question my beliefs so that each day is a new day, each moment a new moment and so on and so forth
3)I love to learn about hacking the human body, and am learning the best ways to incorporate fitness and healthy eating into the backpacking lifestyle
