CURRENT MISSION

Transcend the flat dairly lands of Wisconsin to see the rest of my beautiful country and the world at large!

ABOUT ME

I am a Sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Marketing and History despite their lack of coordination. I'm an outgoing person, although shy at first, who wants to get out and explore the world and find stuff out for myself .I love sports of all kinds from basketball, football and volleyball to running, biking and triathlons. Likewise I definitely prefer the outdoors whether it be camping, boating, backpacking, hiking or anything just as long as the sun is shining I can have a good time :)When it rains, I like to read a lot draw and listen to all sorts of music. (mildly addicted to live shows)

PHILOSOPHY

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun"
