When I was 19, I decided to quit my job and go see the world. At the time, the only thing on my to do list was attending San Fermines, or, "The running of the bulls" in Pamplona, Spain. I bought a one way ticket to Spain and didn't look back. I ran with the Bulls and kept going, and my journey so far has taken me to the Balkan Peninsula and all the way to India. Needless to say, there's never a dull moment

I come from a very unique culture with the massive isolation from the world that Alaska faces, I find it fascinating learning about how other societies and cultures work and comparing it to my own. So much can be learned from other people from anywhere in the world and I always love to listen and learn

People from all walks of life have stories and I'm no different, one unique ace up my sleeve is that being from Alaska, very very few people have insight into what it's truly like living there. I love to talk about my home state where I grew up and share stories of my adventures so far

First and foremost, I love to learn and to experience new things. I've fallen in love with travel, as not only does it teach, it gives the opportunity to teach others. Learning from other cultures and providing knowledge of my culture to others will make me a more worldly person, which I aspire to be. I hate small talk, I love to have conversations that go out on tangents to people's wildest thoughts and passions.
