Figuring out my life's purpose, and experiencing the most out of my youth. I want this to be a Journey of love, spontaneity, knowledge and travel. I want to do all of these things and hopefully more! I have come to a point in my life where I'm sick of just talking about all these aspirations, its time to just do it!
