CURRENT MISSION

Spend a week in France with my girlfriend and other friends, make some new friends, start to learn French.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Paleo, libertarian family medicine resident from North Carolina, currently residing in Kansas, who thinks very highly of Jesus despite all my doubts. My philosophy includes "slow travel," which takes more time than traditional tourism and involves taking less photographs and spending more time building relationships with people and places. Unfortunately, I only have a week of vacation to spend in France-- but I'm coming back in 1.5 years, so hopefully it will not be the only time I see whoever I stay with!

PHILOSOPHY

Paleo lifestyle.
Slow travel.
House churches.
