Surfing, Hiking, Outdoor Adventure Enthusiast and Truck Life Camper
I love to travel, most importantly to travel solo. My solo adventures define me as a person and lead me to meet the most extraordinary people around the world. Though most of my travels include surfing, I also take time to do some hiking and exploring everything that the location has to offer. From mundane everyday things the locals do to collecting seashells on the beach, I revel in and immerse myself in the culture abnd surroundings as much as possible.
