About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around Europe. Meeting new people and checking off our bucket list.

ABOUT ME

We're both students from Oregon, USA. We're traveling around Europe this whole summer hoping to experience different cultures and meet new people. We have a bucket list of things we hope to accomplish during these 3 months in Europe.

We just recently graduated from college and decided to take a trip to Europe to celebrate. We have a limited budget and would be so appreciative to anybody who would offer us a place to stay and some friendly conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Refusing to live a life of mediocrity but living the fullest life possible.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold... and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
