ABOUT ME

I love to travel! I did my first 5 month trip to Central America when I was 18. Finished my 4 year education degree and am looking to travel for the next 2-4 years before I settle down some where. I love to hike, swim, camp, bike, run, cross country ski, surf, dance, learn new things, drink wine, read, learn new languages, keep open-minded, continue to question what this life is for and how one should go about making the most of it. Currently I run my own business that is seasonal and travel in the winter. Lifes good.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an adventure! We should all live as explorers, not that we should always be moving about different parts of the world, although that is not a bad idea, but rather to view life through explorers eyes, to see the world in a grain of sand, to become like little children where the mundane becomes sacred.
