About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To gain as many different perspectives about life as possible, and create something meaningful. To improve the life of others around me.

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Luke and I'm an easy going, open minded, and fun loving 24 year old. While I am somewhat "settled" at the moment, traveling has, and always will be, my passion. I love being exposed to new ideas, perspectives, people and experiences.

When I was younger I lived in Geneva, Switzerland where my family and I traveled to many parts of Europe. Since moving from Geneva, I've lived in Boston, MA, USA, Saratoga, CA, USA, Barcelona, Spain, Hong Kong, China, San Diego, CA, USA, and now live in San Jose, CA, USA.

I dig anything involving the beach, photography, music festivals, adrenaline, going out, conversation, writing, exploring, cooking, reading, and will truly try just about anything once.

I'm very easy to get a long with and honestly love meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

In all my travelings, all my life adventures; I have to say I still don't know what life is, absolutely no clue, and it is a subject that is constantly on my mind. One thing I do know for a fact, is that the nicer we are to our fellow human beings, the nicer the universe is to us.
