CURRENT MISSION

To completely seal the void that seems to slowly fill with every new place I see.

ABOUT ME

I was recently in the middle of my fourth year as an undergrad student at the University of Hawaii when I experienced a temporary halt in my educational endeavor. I am now in the process of taking this unexpected delay and making it into one the best experiences of my life.

I'm a boondoggler and I feel as if I'm wasting everyday. I've had a lot of amazing experiences, and yet I feel I've experienced nothing. I believe you are doing one of two things in this world. You are either dying or you are living. I choose the latter.

PHILOSOPHY

"...The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
- Christopher McCandless

"For what it’s worth, it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” -Benjamin Button
