About Me

CURRENT MISSION

only see love

ABOUT ME

an introvert with extrovert tendencies, if i could be in a cave somewhere high in the mountians for the rest of my life i would be thoroughly content, but it doesnt look like thats gonna happen this time around so now i gotta get involved in life and hopefully share some moments of bliss along the way!

I got the travel bug after i turned 18 and from there i really couldnt stop! My favorite thing is to emerse myself in new cultures because i think it really helps me become a more open minded person. At the moment im fortunate enough to be working abroad and traveling every chance i get!

PHILOSOPHY

row row row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream!

coming to the understanding that all things, events, encounters, and circumstances are helpful

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
