About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn how to couchsurf. Explore Scandinavia.

ABOUT ME

My friends would describe me as impetuous and spiritual. I like to experience everything the world has to offer, the good and the bad. I believe the measure of a person's life is their experiences and the connections they make with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

"It's not really all that bad, it could be much worse."

"Life is not going to wait for you."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I moved to Seattle I had a crazy idea that I wanted to travel the western coastline so without any prior experience, I bought a motorcycle, packed a small bag, and set off for the coast with no timeline or itinerary. I didn't know where I would stop or how long I'd be gone. All I knew was that I wanted to see the coast. I just woke up and rode every day, making random detours wherever I felt like and at one point made a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of the Mendocino vineyards. Needless to say, I proceeded with the incorrect route. When it was all said and done, I had gone just short of LA, rode 3,000 miles, and was gone for 2 weeks. When my friends asked how the trip was, all I could say was spiritual.
