About Me

CURRENT MISSION

As of 5/3/16, it's been a year since I started traveling and I've been to 25 countries so far. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I'm so grateful and humble to have met awesome fellow CSers all over the world (you know who you are!). I've decided to extend my travel for another 6 months and I'm even more excited and anxious than I was a year ago.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Southern California and moved to Dallas four years ago. I lived a sheltered life in SoCal thinking I didn't need to travel because Cali offered beautiful weather all year around. While I plan to move back to SoCal eventually, I want to spend more time (a lot more) traveling. I want to meet interesting people and explore! C'mon fellow junkies!

I just quit my job to travel Europe. If you had asked me two years ago if I would ever consider doing that, I would've told you you are crazy. But here I am and I'm so stoked about traveling in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty (gets me in trouble at times but I can sleep at night), Humility (respect and appreciate others), and Loyalty (treat others how I want to be treated). Other than that, anything goes. Don't be boring!!!
