CURRENT MISSION

bum around the world

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a student at Truman State University in Kirksville, MO, studying English and Visual Communication. Now that I'm sort of out on my own, I'm trying to see as much of the world, or at least this country, as I can. And as a college student I lack the cash to go a lot of places I want, so this site will definitely help.

PHILOSOPHY

I always believe in putting everyone else before myself, and treating everyone with equal respect. I don't judge. I'm searching for a point to my life and thus far have been unsuccesful. I guess that's why I'm still searching.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with sharks in the Cayman Islands about 8 years ago. It was an intense experience, to say the least.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an extremely large mental database of useless trivia. Ask me a question, and there's a good chance I can answer it.
