CURRENT MISSION

To make us all realize we aren't all that different from one another...

ABOUT ME

Im 30. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, in the USA but have moved around a ton in the past 8 years. I've lived in Detroit, Lansing, Chicago, New York, Sydney, Australia, Maui, Hawaii, Busan, South Korea and now Denver, Colorado. I love to travel and meet new people from all over the world. I also love to learn and listen to new languages.

My hobbies are pretty much cycling, cycling, and more cycling. I love camping, hiking, rock climbing as well. Fishing is amazing, basically anything outdoors I'll do. There isn't a sport or outdoor activity I don't like. I have a website that I half-assedly try to keep up with. It has some stories and articles so check it out if you have time:

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone should take a few years of their lives and live within their means, and outside of their comfort zones. Immerse yourself into a culture that is totally foreign to you and I promise you 95% of the time, you will come out a better person for having done so.
