About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To treat my senses to as many interesting experiences as possible

ABOUT ME

I have a lot of different interests and am always looking for fun new experiences. I'm pretty chilled out and can have a good time doing almost anything, it's who I'm with that counts. That said, I certainly enjoy the company of fellow partiers. I like to joke around a lot, not take things too seriously, and I really appreciate a good sense of humor. I haven't done a whole lot of traveling so far but I recently quit my job in New York to travel around the world, and I can't wait to get started, see some new cultures and make new friends along the way!
