CURRENT MISSION

To see the world through the eyes of locals. I believe the best way to experience a foreign country is with those who can help me experience their culture through friends, food and spirits.

ABOUT ME

I am currently teaching English in Santa Clara, California. I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel to some awesome places, but I'm looking to set down roots in the Bay Area.

PHILOSOPHY

Do on to others as you want done to yourself. Be a good person and others will return the favor.
