CURRENT MISSION

I want to live in the right perspective. Traveling, it seems, is the best way to break down my unknown prejudices and experience the variety of life.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy going. My interests are varied and constantly changing. Right now, I am really interested in microbrewing and astronomy. I have an immense appreciation for the outdoors, and hope to find a profession in which I am working sustainably to preserve the planet.

I really enjoy reading, though I find it difficult at times to find the time. Right now I'm reading The Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Who knew an astrophysicist could be equal parts poet and astronomer?

I come from a family of five, with an older sister and younger brother. I am grateful for the family I was given. After all, it really is just luck of the draw!

Enough about me, tell me about you!

PHILOSOPHY

I make my own luck.

Don't settle for less.

Nothing can compete with hard work.

To travel is to live.

BE EMPATHETIC.

These are just off the top of my head, haha.
