Profile picture

I think life's about the journey. I am an adventurer. I enjoy learning new things, discovering new places, and meeting new people. I chose my path for the sake of learning, to better understand the world around me, and through it I met some of the most amazing people I know. To quote Robert Frost,

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
