About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, learn, explore and educate

ABOUT ME

Well im ready and willing to learn different things. This site helped me meet some great people in Hawaii. I probably spent a little less than 2 months in Hawaii. Im born and bread in El Paso and I want to experience more. Everybody has a purpose and that is to enjoy life and get as much out of it as possible. I can get along with most people because i have a relaxed attitude and just want to have fun and i usually do. I don't currently live in El Paso at the moment. I have an apt in Battle Mountain, NV.

PHILOSOPHY

We have to break free from our daily cycle and open our eyes to what this big world has to offer. Money isnt as important as people make it. Memories and dreams, ambitions is whats important.
