CURRENT MISSION

To live in its most basic definition. This includes traveling, meeting new people, and experencing things for the first time.

ABOUT ME

I am a 19 year old male who has been born and raised in Wisconsin. I absolutely love to travel and as such, I'm headed off to Europe this fall for six weeks. As of now I'm working to be able to afford the trip and generally enjoying my summer. After my travels I plan on returning to the states and continuing my education come February. I absolutely love sports and I am very competitive. One of my goals while in Europe is to go to a Football match. While I'm not the biggest fan of soccer, the enthusiasm for the sport in Europe (and pretty much everywhere but here in the states) intrigues me greatly.

PHILOSOPHY

"I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In eighth grade I lead a successful boycott against my own school.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can share a unique outlook on life and I have always followed my own lead. I'm attracted to others who share this "trailblazer" mentality but enjoy all types of personalities. I would love to share the stories that have made me who I am and I would love to learn from others their own life stories.
