CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Well let's see.. I was bitten by the travel bug at a young age due to a couple parents who both are well traveled and full of stories. I'm a huge music junkie and will try anything twice. I'm fascinating by life and passionate about living it my way. There isn't a rush quite like wandering a city you've never seen before completely engulfed in another culture. Wanderlust in it's truest form. I like to think I'm quite laid back and easy going, I'm flexible with my travel plans and always looking to see somewhere new or try something for the first time.
I love good food and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” – Chris McCandless
