About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and explore the world we were born into

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college graduate who is looking to venture all over our great country for just over the cost to fill my tank and go. I am passionate about the world and what there is to experience within it.

PHILOSOPHY

If you sit and talk about it, you might think about it but might never get to it. It is getting up and doing what we talk about that makes things happen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I have done to this point is to sit and eat lunch with my 92 year old great grandmother in the south of France when I was 13. We had lunch in a small cafe by her apartment that over looked the Mediterranean Sea. She died two years later but I will never forget that.
