Mission
I'm a regular person who through hard work and good luck has had amazing experiences with people and places around the world. My mission is to share my stories to encourage more openness, curiosity, and respect between the humans on this planet.
Vision
The more we understand each other, the less fearful we become. The less fearful we are, the less hate and ignorance we spread. To quote Mark Twain, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." If you can't travel the world, I hope you'll enjoy and learn a thing or two through my adventures.
