Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
At the end of the day I want to be able to look in the mirror and say. "I did it my way"
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised on an island and i definitely have a laid back island mentality. I come from a long line of nomads, by that I mean my parents love to move every couple of years and their vagabond shoes have most certainly found their way to my feet. My biggest fear in life is being stuck, and in that sense traveling is not just a vacation for me, it is a way of life it is a necessity. I have a good outlook on life and a great sense of humor, I always enjoy meeting new people and discovering things new things about the world.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in man's ability to change. I personally believe that man's greatest quality is our ability to change and improve ourselves. No matter where you are in life, every day provides us with the opportunity to do something better then we did the day before. Make yourself a better person, and in turn make the world a better place.
Interests
I play soccer as often as i can. I could not live without it. I enjoy finding unique and delicious places to eat. Having been born on an island, scuba diving is basically a birthright. I scuba dive as often as I possibly can. I love a good conversation, and can carry one on just about any topic. I definitely have a lot of strong viewpoints about most things and love a good debate. I enjoy anything that has to do with adventure.
