CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as I can.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Hawaii feeling kind of trapped with the rest of the world seeming rather far away. Recently I left and have traveled around for the past few years and I feel like I understand a bit more about culture, languages, and the importance of talking and learning from people that are totally different from myself. What I love about this site is you can meet people from all over the world and come to realize how much you have in common, despite cultural and linguistic differences, and you start to realize how small yet simultaneously vast the world is, and how now people can travel and learn and understand the world like never before in history, if they want to. So I wanna meet people that want to learn about the world as much as I do.
