About Me

CURRENT MISSION

traveling, experiencing new things, meeting new people, ruling the world

ABOUT ME

I moved down to Tamarindo, Costa Rica one year ago after backpacking here last year. I will be here at least 3-4 months more and then am planning on more travelling. I'd love to do some short trips to other spots in CR and central america before then, as well as have some people to go visit when I hit up Europe,Japan, other places. My dream trip is 2-3 weeks on horseback through Mongolia during their festival in June(?). I like trying all sorts of activities. I work as a programmer online so am usually toting my little laptop around.

PHILOSOPHY

Basic morals, live your life and let others live theirs, be considerate, treat those as you'd like to be treated, go with the flow. I'm an atheist but don't care what others believe as long as they don't try to push their belief onto me.
