About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become an adventurer! In a very real sense of the word. Gaining independance is my first step, then personal improvement.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey and only a select few spend it searching for something more beautiful, something more exciting, and yes I admit, something more dangerous. The world is a place where dollars and deutschmarks get turned into counterfeit watches and genuine scars. So never refuse an invitation, Never resist the unfamiliar, Never fail to be polite, and Never outstay your welcome. Just keep your mind open and absorb the experience, and if it hurts it's probably worth it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled europe with my older brother for six months when I was 17. And I once did this amazing hacky sack move... I kicked it up with my right foot, caught it between my knees, couched on the ground with it between my knees, jumped and tossed it straight up with my knees, then caught it with the middle of the shoulders, jump again while doing a 360 spin, then it goes straight up, and I kicked it again with my left foot... Hyeah, amazing, I know.
