CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

recovering travel junkie, currently trying to strike a balance between the type of learning, sharing, and experience that being nomadic provides and the more in-depth stuff I can explore by staying in one place for more than a few months. community-minded, ambitious, and cheap probably sums it up.

PHILOSOPHY

get dirty.!! balance. open-mindedness.
