CURRENT MISSION To avoid a full-time career so I can travel around the world. ABOUT ME I caught the travel bug while attending university when I traveled to Yellowstone National Park to complete a summer long field study course. Upon graduating, I decided to hold off pursuing a career in order to see the world. I eventually secured a job as a deckhand, worked on a cruise line, and eventually quit to live (and bum around) the Caribbean islands for a year. After I tired of island life, I returned to the U.S. and lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Vail, Colorado; Alaska; Orange County and Los Angeles, California. While in the U.S., I tried my hand at becoming mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, where I lived and trained at an MMA academy for over two years; I transported cars across the U.S. for a transportation company; and worked for a commercial fishery in Alaska. I have traveled throughout Asia, South America, North America, and Europe. My next destinations will be the Middle East and Africa. PHILOSOPHY I have many, but right now the most relevant philosophy I am currently adhering to is: "Work to live, don't live to work."
