CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, make new friends and have some amazing experiences. I'll stay away from the tourists spots, tending to want to hit the food market or other local hangout spot.

ABOUT ME

I absolutely love food, traveling, and exploring the world. I feel that through food you can really communicate with other people. It's something you both agree on and it's a way to have a conversation without actually speaking their language. I also love the outdoors. Most likely on the weekends I find myself outside hiking, camping or urban exploring.
