I think swimming with whale sharks was pretty amazing and visiting Kyoto.

My dream is to visit Mongolia and live in a yurt with nomads. Travel the Gobi desert and reach the Tibetan Plateau. I also would like to do the PCT with my dog and partner.

Teach, Learn, Share


“I really do think that if for one week in the U.S. we saw the true face of war, we saw people's limbs sheared off, we saw kids blown apart, for one week, war would be eradicated. Instead, what we see in the U.S. media is the video war game. Our mission is to make dissent commonplace in America.” -Amy Goodman
