CURRENT MISSION

Live Thoroughly

ABOUT ME

I have always wanted to travel the world and am finally taking the opportunity to do so. My first stop was Kunming, China where I received a job offer to work as a teacher in January 2012.
A three month trip turned into almost a year, with the lesson that travel can't be planned and there's too much in the world to see to stop moving. Since China I've been around South East Asia, a little bit of the Middle East, and most of Europe. I hop around a lot and travel slowly.
Nothing is set in stone, but if all goes well I will be gone for over six years (and to think when i first wrote this it was only one, ha!). Wish me luck :)

PHILOSOPHY

My favorite quote is from ghandi "create the change you wish to see in the world."
