Having been born and raised in the suburbs of one of the greatest cities in the world, New York taught me about diversity; books spoke to me about the world; and I learned to read the pages through travel. I'm a walking contradiction: a nerdy accountant with a passion for adventure, adrenaline rushes and exploration. I turned in my excel spreadsheets two years ago in exchange for a world map: living among locals in South Korea for one year and the next backpacking around the globe. I crave creativity, challenges and living beyond existence. Meeting people, learning about them, understanding what drives them - that drives me. I see the world for it's possibilities and live by the mantra that you can have it all if you put your soul, your guts, your everything into it.
