About My Dream

Be Fearlessly Authentic

In November 2010, I booked a last minute trip to Machu Picchu with my little brother, Scott. This was my first extreme adventure travel experience and ever since I’ve been obsessed with pushing my limits, seeing remote parts of the word and emersing myself into different cultures.

Being out of my comfort zone has forced me to gain self confidence, embrace all people equally and become widely curious in preserving this wonderful planet.

This is my journey………

??? WHERE ELSE IS A MUST SEE ???

“Travel is rebellion in its purest form. We follow our heart. We free ourselves of labels. We lose control willingly. We trade a role for reality. We love the unfamiliar. We trust strangers. We own only what we can carry. We search for better questions, not answers. We truly graduate. We, sometimes, choose never to come back.”
