About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore stuff.

ABOUT ME

I'm seeking to explore. I want to absorb all the different cultures, languages, and experiences possible. I love adventuring and traveling new places yet I can be a little timid to do so. Sometimes I just need a little push. I'm an outdoor enthusiast so I look for adventure in hiking, climbing, slacklining, and much more but I also love a good city life. I want things to inspire and amaze me, whether it's the sky, another person's generosity, or just silence.

My greatest insecurity is "I don't know what I'm doing" with my life or with my travels, my work or what have you. I feel like I don't have control and it freaks me out. I want to reclaim that phrase and own it. I want to embrace the fact that I don't know what I'm doing and just get out there and do it. On y va!

PHILOSOPHY

Observe and respect.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of random facts. I'm an autodidact. I'm a film major, but that doesn't mean I know everything about film. Rather I like to capture human behavior. I like to think that I'm very observant and can share with others my observations and talk to them about how I observe.
