CURRENT MISSION i want to see the world, immerse myself in different cultures and meet interesting people along the way. ABOUT ME since college, i always told myself that i'd take some time off to travel, but for some reason or another, something always stood in the way of that. years passed and i found myself still yearning for those experiences. i finally decided to do something about it, so i quit my job and took the 2011 year to travel! i did lots of outdoor excursions, took in the sights, learned about different cultures, met new people, ate lots of delicious food...but most of all, i really felt like i got to live the life i always imagined for myself! i have since returned back to phoenix, az and have resumed working. i'm hoping to save up some more money and either continue traveling or live abroad....we'll see! PHILOSOPHY you can't control the things that happen to you, but you can control how you react to them. everything is temporary. make every moment count.
