About Me

CURRENT MISSION To live simply, so that others may simply live. ABOUT ME I am a 30yr old male, ready to explore anything that comes my way. I hold a strong essential belief in community and the fact that life was not meant to live alone. PHILOSOPHY If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, the possibility of life is destroyed

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have climbed an inactive volcano in Nairobi, Kenya and lived within Nairobi's largest slum for 3 months teaching English. This Slum, Kibera is the largest in all of Africa and 2nd in the World.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: I have spent extensive time in Africa and have learned from their culture there. This trip has changed who i have become and opened my eyes to a world more concerned about the necessity of community within our lives instead of just a simple added bonus.

Learn: i would like to learn about different lifestyles and different cultures other than my own, the longer i have been around and the more i travel, the more i realize that the way i grew up and the experiences i have had are merely just a bubble i have created. There is soo much to learn from others and i am excited to do so.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cayman Islands, Germany, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, Swaziland, Thailand, Virgin Islands, British, Virgin Islands, U.S.
