CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and make friends

ABOUT ME

I'm a 30 year old male currently living in Columbia, SC. It's not terribly interesting here, so I've decided to finally indulge in my life long desire to travel the world. I'm not interested in using Couch Surfing just to find free accomodations. I am hoping to meet new people, make friends, and have unique experinces wherever I may travel.
