CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to help people, one on one, in any way I can.

ABOUT ME

I grew up as a big fish in a little pond. My hometown had less than 2000 people, that consisted of mostly farmers. I inherited a love of travel from my grandmother and I have been all over the place in my short, 18 years on this Earth. I've been to Alaska, Canada, Ecuador, and Mexico frequently. I live to study other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

My entire philosophy on life is that every terrible thing that happens to us, makes us who we are, so we should be grateful for even the tragedies of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate Cui in Ecuador.
Not the most exciting but I just love seeing peoples reactions when they find out what Cui is.

Teach, Learn, Share

Talk to everyone, and be courteous. In 3 days I've met so many extraordinary people, just because I stopped for a moment and maybe smoked a cigarette with a homeless guy on the sidewalk, or talked about politics with a Hawaiian Horticulturist on the bus to Santa Cruz. 5 minutes of polite conversation has a good chance of becoming more.
