About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seize life by the metaphorical horns

ABOUT ME

Born, raised, and developed in California. Been walking in this particular earthly body for almost 23 years now. Left the house when I was 17, figured out my own way. I did move back in with my father for a few months to save up some money for this expedition. My mind often wanders to thoughts of much greater things. I do not know what I will study when and if I go back to school, but am considering physics. I am learning to play the guitar, and I am bringing a harmonica along with me for my travels, so expect to hear that.

I'm currently on a three month mission to get across europe on as little money as possible. If you can help me, that would be awesome! (Not looking for handouts besides the couch!) I'm a very spiritual person, I am looking forward to getting a lot of meditation done during my travels. I try to be happy in every constant moment, because the past and the future do not exist! I'm all about trying new things, meeting new people, and experiencing as much as I can. Let's do it!

PHILOSOPHY

The current moment is the only one we will ever have. Your thoughts are also not you, they are only something you are observing. This helps me distinguish between mind/body/soul. I can trip you out with my philosophys, I enjoy discussing parallel realities and all that good stuff. Riiiiight up my alley.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can appreciate most types of music! But I really like Classic Rock, Electronic, and hip-hop.

Movies? I don't watch too many, but some of my favorites over the years are Memento, Gladiator, Shawshank Redemption, and the Ip Man flicks!

Old Man and the Sea, The Wild Trees, reading the Game of Thrones books but I haven't seen the show.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did deep sea turtle reasearch and sat on the backs of Loggerhead sea turtles. I had a near death experience there, almost being struck by lightning.

Jumped on stage at shows multiple times, and have been swiftly removed!

Im on a 3 month backpacking expedition around Europe.

Seen the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Guysers, and Yosemite Valley.

Im sure theres much more, but my brains recall does leave some to be desired :P
