About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living and working my way through Europe from winter to early summer

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college graduate, 24 years old. I am passionate about traveling, seeing absolutely everything that I can, and meeting local people from the places that I go. I am passionate about history, especially European and American. Geopolitics is my current obsession. I hope one day to become a writer, and to live as active and meaningfully as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmm...don't know if I could boil it down to a few sentences. Meet me and find out!
