CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the beautiful world we live in.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in sunny Los Angeles, California. I graduated from university with a degree in Business Management and couldn't bear the thought of getting a "real" job.. So I decided to travel instead. I've spent the last year traveling around Europe and living in Ireland. Now I'm about to start a journey through SE Asia, and in November I'm moving to Australia. After that.. South America maybe?

PHILOSOPHY

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure — self-determined, self-motivated, often risky — forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind — and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing wil lever again be black-and-white.”

–Mark Jenkins

Teach, Learn, Share

"Happiness is not a matter of good fortune or worldly possessions. It's a mental attitude. It comes from appreciating what we have, instead of being miserable about what we don't have. It's so simple—yet so hard for the human mind to comprehend."

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." -E.B. White

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Gandhi

"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." -Plato

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them... Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." -Lao Tzu
