CURRENT MISSION

To become wise through experiences while laughing and being moved.

ABOUT ME

I wanted to road trip the United States since I was a freshman in college and first read John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley in Search of America. Now that I have the diploma, I'm spending the year traveling around the United States. I'm starting in Chicago and heading east, then south and so on around the country. Looking to meet many new people, see many new places, and collect many stories along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

"Throw a loaf of bread and a pound of tea in an old sack and jump over the back fence."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a solo road trip around mainland Greece and had many adventures doing it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to tell stories and to understand life through other peoples' writings, and to be a teacher by combining the two.
