About Me

CURRENT MISSION!

Move to portland and gain new experiences~

ABOUT ME

I am a free spirited, anti-planning adventurer! I love experiencing new things, and will go out of my way to meet interesting people and make new friends.
I live life as it comes and deal with things on a day to day basis which leaves me pretty stress free.

I'm currently in the process of moving to portland, oregon, which keeps me pretty busy. I don't have much time for travelling with the move, but such is life. At the very least, I will have opportunities for adventures and meet up a while in the city.

I'm into all kinds of things, I'm the type of guy who will go along with mostly anything for the sake of the experience. I like to live a steady, I will rarely be a cause for drama of any kind, and I'm slow to anger.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you can to make the world a better place. Every little bit helps, no matter how small.
Let's change the world together.

Recently I've been thinking about the kind of life I want to lead which has led me to some pretty interesting ideas. I plan to change my diet and lifestyle, become more conscious of myself. I'm starting a vegan diet and I'm going to experiment with minimalism.

I'm also an avid learner, so I always have my nose in a book and between that and school I do ok.
