About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see as much of this world as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am person who is passionate about travel, sports, and the outdoors. I have traveled to over 30 countries already and plan to hit every continent in my lifetime.

PHILOSOPHY

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
