CURRENT MISSION

to live life without settling. I took a trip and realized I can make things happen. I want to take more risks without looking back because the past is unchangeable.

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Zach and I love to travel. Ever since my first real travel in 2009 I've caught the travel bug and can't seem to shake it. I've had amazing times and met so many amazing people; I miss them dearly and already want to go back and see them as soon as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Explore the world, it's a big place!
