About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, create meaningful connections with others, and play a little ukulele along the way. Para ver el mundo, cultivar relaciones significativas , y tocar el ukelele un poco en el camino.

ABOUT ME

Originally from outside Washington, DC, I've been traveling/living outside the US for the past 5 years.

Nacido cerca de Washington, DC, he estado viajando/viviendo fuera de los EE.UU. durante los últimos 5 años.

PHILOSOPHY

"The essence of life is not being perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything. The essence of life is simply making mistakes and learning from them, surrounding yourself with people that love you when you're being yourself, and getting through the failures so that you can continue improving. "

"La esencia de la vida no es ser perfecto, impresionar a la gente, o tener éxito en todo. La esencia de la vida es simplemente cometer errores y aprender de ellos, rodearse de personas que te aman cuando estás siendo tú mismo, y superar los fracasos para que pueda seguir mejorando. "
