CURRENT MISSION

Work some, travel some

ABOUT ME

Funny, creative, entertaining, adventurous, outgoing, extroverted, kind, listener, sympathatic,

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for experiences, not things. I live fairly simply. It would not take much to chuck it all and just travel full time. Just not sure I'm ready yet for that.
