CURRENT MISSION

Wanting to see as much of the world and meet as many people as possible

ABOUT ME

I spent 15 months traveling around Europe and New Zealand. A year of that time, was living in Edinburgh. That was probably the best 15 months of my life. I met the most amazing people and made life long friends.

Don't worry, be happy!
I'm opened minded, love to laugh and meet new people.

I'm living in Santa Barbara now and enjoying the sunshine and the ocean.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason.
Travel is the best education possible.
Be possitive.
