CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, meeting as many people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am really easygoing, very interested in world politics and current events. I can get along with anyone I can sustain a conversation with. I am very interested in travel and languages, especially in relation to filmmaking. I have traveled in England, France, Kyrgyzstan,Belgium, and Russia.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel is very important. You cannot know your own culture completely until you have experienced other cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling is extremely important. Everyone should see as much of the world as possible, to become a rounded person. I get very uncomfortable if I spend more than 6 months without traveling.
