PHILOSOPHY

I'm not going to wait until I'm dying to create a bucket list. I want to experience and see as much as I can with the short time I have on this earth. I hope I can be a positive influence in as many lives as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I zip-lined off of the Great Wall at Simatai.

I climbed a mountain to see a Daoist temple only to have my fortune told by someone who told me I'd not be happy until I was 50 and I'd be married multiple times.

I stripped in front of the Baltic Sea in freezing weather for a photograph.

I ate a bull frog in China. (it was gross)
