ABOUT ME

*Update*
Oct-2014
Flight Attendant living/working out of Chicago, IL.

*Update*
Oct-2013

I'm done traveling. I spent 2010 -->now uprooting, getting lost, transitioning, and processing. I am currently taking a deep (3 month) breathe (break) from all the moves I've been able to make in the last three years. I've finally come to the idea that a solid community is where my next mission lies. And I hope to find it here in the great city of Los Angeles. I am currently living with three beautiful roommates in a lovely house tucked away in Echo Park (neighborhood near Downtown LA). We have a small couch and decent size air mattress for any traveler who seeks a comfortable place to crash.
We do not have a dog or a cat (unfortunately)

{(2/18/2013 - much to update (not on the road no'mo)}
I'm 25 years old (young) and I've spent the last 2 years on the road. I've been traveling around North America advocating for social justice. I've worked for both Liberty in North Korea (LiNKglobal.org) and Falling Whistles (fallingwhistles.com)

During my travels I have been invited into various college campuses around the US to speak on behalf of global issues like the ones surrounding the Congo and North Korea.

On my time off I remain on the road. When I'm not speaking at schools you can find me in the woods or on the backroads of America.

I'm drawn to open country.

After graduating high school I decided to do a road trip from Florida to Alaska (and dropping by Mexico before heading North).

It has been about 6 years since graduation and I can't sit still.

From day 1 during 2012 I plan on getting lost in Europe. I'm taking 3 months off of my life to explore lands I've never been to.

I couldn't be more excited :)

PHILOSOPHY

Never hesitate to live. Wake up as an artist of life and go to bed as the person you aspire to be. Take pride in decisions made and always live a positive life.

An unexamined life is a seed unplanted. “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

Know thyself and leave a legacy filled with inspiration.

Interests

Music, Film, Travel, Literature, and Love. Simplicity, failure, and foreign situations. To grow is to live and to live is to experience. So I plan to experience it all from the good to the bad...And even the ugly.
