ABOUT ME

I was born a traveling man. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to do so until now. Other than that, I go to university in New York City, but I'm 'studying' in London at the moment. In my free time, I play guitar, ukelele, and kazoo, read, write (plays, screenplays, poems, little ditties), watch movies, walk, eat, laugh. I am profoundly interested in people, great or small, and I am always aspiring to widen my worldview.

PHILOSOPHY

You can always smile, even if you're dead-tired.

And to steal one:
"A Good Traveler Has No Fixed Plans and Is Not Intent On Arriving" - Lao Tzu
