ABOUT ME

I am a globe trotter. Based in San Francisco, I am always saving for my next adventure: always somehere I have never been before, and the more exotic and weird the better.I am a photographer, a musician,an avid writer and reader. I love science. I love to meet new people, especially like-minded travelers. Just returned from
rambling around South America with my brother, and meeting the love of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life like there's no tomorrow. No one is going to live it for me. See the world. Discover uncharted territories. You cant leave it up to someone else.
