About Me

CURRENT MISSION

No Regrets

ABOUT ME

I grew up being involved in a lot of different things. While I may dive into endeavors to become a film maker, photographer, web designer, or music producer, my current passion is playing my guitar. Currently I only perform in subway station, but I'm hoping when another opportunity presents itself, I'll be ready

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm not one to sugarcoat. In many ways I fell on my ass during my first couchsurfing experience. Part of it had to do with getting sick not being able to prepare with a clear head

Lessons were learned but overall it was a good experience and I wish to do it again and take advantage of some of the things I missed out on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finish school (both high school and college was a struggle to get to graduation day)

Teach, Learn, Share

I remember four years ago I was interning for a company many hold in high regards (Sesame Workshop). I didn't even graduate from college yet but whats going though my head after a couple of weeks is "Is this what I got to look forward to for the next 25 years after college is over? It would only put more pressure on me to get married, have kids, move to the suburbs, and own two cars.

Around this same time someone told me "There's nothing to look forward to after you turn 21". While that's not 100% true there are only a handful of lives whose lives remain an adventure beyond that point.

I'm currently at a crossroad where I have to choose... and I'd rather journey the road less traveled
