CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through ever-different eyes, to expand my field of vision.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 21 year old who loves to travel to amazing places, read wonderful books, meet incredible people, and learn new things. I am pretty athletic--I love hiking, swimming, running, going to the gym. I am a lover of food and am always down to try something new, even though I am allergic to a scary number of things. I am a relaxed and flexible guy and pretty adaptable to the situation. I am also very interested in prison reform and in working against global sex trafficking. I am currently working in the fashion industry as a model and this is how I finance my travels. I don't especially enjoy what I do, but it is a great opportunity for me to travel for free, or close to it. When I go to a new city my modeling agencies usually provide me with an apartment to stay in, but I would much rather go outside of my comfort zone and stay with people I don't know who have something interesting to share. I was born in Montpellier, France and have also lived for extended periods of time in Resistentia, Argentina; Minas de Oro, Honduras; Seattle, WA; Portland, OR; and New York. For the next year or two I plan on traveling the world with my job. In the next few months I'll be working in China, Italy, France, London, Singapore, Thailand, and the US.

PHILOSOPHY

I am constantly striving towards something, even if I don't know exactly what that something is. I am always ruminating over the questions that plague me, the big questions--is there a god, does it all matter, what is my purpose here, etc. Although it sounds corny, I'd like to say that I'm a tireless seeker of truth. I love being around similar people--people who aren't satisfied to just live a comfortable life but who desire to understand why everything is the way it is.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The Golden Circle in Iceland is beautiful. But its hard to say what the most amazing thing I've done is. That's about as difficult as saying who my favorite person is or my favorite book.
