CURRENT MISSION
To live life without fear
ABOUT ME
Born in Texas and I've been traveling around the world for 15 years. I’ve been fortunate enough to to visit 45 countries and lived on 6 continents. This all has been funded by a myriad of weird jobs along the way from combat soldier, gem dealer, English teacher, hostel manager, telemarketer, beauty sales, Thai massage, dive master, and now currently working in the medical cannabis industry. I love scuba diving, motorcycle trips, nature, and animals. I finally decided to put down some roots. After years of saving I finally bought some beautiful agricultural land that I am converting into a haven for organic food growing and permaculture courses. It features a large teepee. 2 proper bathrooms, outdoor kitchen, wood fired hot tub, and electricity. The land is 4 acres and has flat land for food production and a river running around it. There’s also various fruit trees . The property is surrounded by vineyards, horses, birds and is very peaceful. You can go ride horses, visit vineyards, river beaches, and more. Lisbon is on 30 minutes away by car, 3 minutes by helicopter, and also accessible by public transport. Bus stop is 200 meters away
PHILOSOPHY
I see my path, but I don't know where it leads.
Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.
