Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”
ABOUT ME
I love meeting new people and I love traveling. Having fun and laughing are essential in my life.
Also, family and friends are very, very important to me.
Oh and nothing makes me happier than getting a local drink (..or a few..) in a new place with a fun and interesting person.
PHILOSOPHY
"Do what you love and fuck the rest."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I swam with whale sharks in La Paz and it was by far the most terrifying thing I've done to date. I made the poor guide hold my hand the entire time while I nearly squeezed it off. Whale sharks are docile sea beasts, but so very huge... my heart was beating out of my chest.
