About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and different cultures and grow as a person

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and just recently graduated from Cal Poly University. I have yet to figure out what it is I want to do with my life... traveling is great for now! Love to meet new people and discover new cultures and lifestyles! I am quite an active person but am definitely not against sitting inside all day and either reading a good book or watching some movies... I am living in Berlin at the moment for at least 3 months... most likely longer and absolutely love it.. Im huge on extreme sports... Snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding, surfing... etc.. Also I cant say that im quite good enough to call myself a musician but I do love to play Guitar... I also grew up in a small mountain town and consider myself a nature boy but the city life is growing on me quickly...

PHILOSOPHY

Live life one day at a time and to the fullest. Always keep an open mind and stay open to new experiences and personalities...
