About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Personal manifest destiny: to pursue novel experiences and learning opportunities during this period long-term travel

ABOUT ME

I do my best to never be bored. I don't know why, but things seem to always work out for me. I eat incredible slow. I've experienced an extended state enlightenment twice. Pollution of our mind and planet sometimes irritates me. I seriously plan to change the world. I am perpetually drawn to the ocean. I seek new experiences. I will never be able to fully repay my friends and family for everything they've given me, but this won't prevent me from trying.

After graduating college I decided I needed a break from formal education. For the past year and a half I've lived in Key West, FL, working as a mate on sailing catamarans and a marine science instructor. This has been incredible in many ways, however, I've been wanting to embark on a long-term trek for quite some time...

PHILOSOPHY

My three tenets...
1) Be here NOW.
2) Take life as it comes.
3) Don't do what you know to be wrong (or conversely, do what you know to be right.

Interests

Having fun, surfing, rock climbing, spearfishing, learning new things, reading, running, good conversation.
