About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a global citizen.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the outskirts of Atlanta,GA. Schooled at Georgia Tech where i gained a love of traveling and of learning everything I can about places and the cultures they represent. Just moved from Atlanta to Brooklyn, New York! I travel alot and spend my time trying to make the world a better place, one smile at a time.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for us to LIVE. It is shorter than you could ever imagine and there are more opportunities than you ever thought possible. Take advantage of the time you have.
