About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore & discover

ABOUT ME

I graduated in 2010 from Rutgers University with B.A. in Political Science and have made my to Daegu, South Korea where I teach English. I absolutely love traveling, anything adventurous, and the outdoors. I grew up most of my life living on the beach and in the waters of Long Beach Island, New Jersey. My love for travel began back when I was a kid, this stemmed from family cross country adventures to and from New Jersey and Washington State (where I lived for a few years). Our travels led us to Mount Rushmore, Yellow Stone National Park, Mount Rainer, and many places in between, visiting so many natural wonders made me really appreciate travel and the great outdoors.

I really enjoy living in Korea, but my time here is winding down. In June, I will make my way to Hong Kong, where I will teach English for another year. In-between, I plan to take some time to travel to Japan.

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's important to live in the moment and to make the most out of each day. It's a beautiful world filled with amazing sights to see and people to meet and we are here to explore and discover it.
