CURRENT MISSION

Looking to become a globetrotter and start Jet-setting soon! Engaging interesting and creative people through the globe. Travel to far reaches of the planet and contact various regions and indigenous people of the worlds and experience culture & society!

ABOUT ME

I'm a free thinking soul looking to do some traveling! I enjoy meeting different people of ethnicity, various religions, and diverse cultures. Engaging people of quality backgrounds and learning about history and traditions through first hand direct experience is my priority. Also, I enjoy tasting foods of indigenous people as long as they are vegetarian. Looking to live a healthy lifestyle full of adventures, discovery, and exploration.

PHILOSOPHY

I wish to all that wits be kept about, that conclusions based on unsupported emotions and a priori notions not be equated with those stemming from ratiocination; that atheism (a state) not be confused with reason (a process), that we worry less about how our acts are interpreted by those who might lack the ability to appropriately ascertain them because they juxtapose them to their own fallacious system of interpretation, and may we bridge the gap between thought and action.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in 20 cities, 12 schools; Former Army brat who's been at Peacekeeping missions and have seen human suffering, death and indignity first hand so am looking to give back to society after witnessing the worst of human nature first hand through direct exposure. As a child raised by a single stepmother who's dedicated her life to my upbringing, I'm looking to do volunteer work for orphans in developing countries who've been displaced or have become refugees due to separation from parents or warfare and genocide. Long term plan would be to open child development centers for orphans in 3rd world countries and developing regions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm still a student of the poeple and sociology, psychology and political science are truly essential for the human psyche and understanding the mindset of individual thinkers
