I WANTED MY LIFE TO BE GOOD SO I DECIDED TO TRAVEL.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE THIS TYPICAL COOKIE CUTTER LIFESTYLE, UNTIL ONE DAY I GOT AN EMAIL THROUGH SCHOOL ASKING IF I WANTED TO TRAVEL THE WORLD. I HONESTLY DON’T KNOW WHAT PROVOKED ME, BUT THROUGH A LONG APPLICATION PROCESS I WAS ACCEPTED.

I WENT TO

TANZANIA FOR 3 MONTHS
TO
INDIA FOR 6 MONTHS
DELHI
AGRA
JAIPUR
MUMBAI
GOA
KERALA
CHENAI
TIRUPATI
BANGALORE
HYDERABAD
DELHI
NEXT STOP:
DHARAMSALA

I HAVE NOTICED SPECIFICALLY THE INEQUALITY OF WOMEN DURING MY TRAVELS. IT’S BAD ENOUGH IN THE STATES, BUT IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD IT’S MUCH FURTHER BEHIND. THIS HAS EFFECTED ME GREATLY.

I BELIEVE THAT SPIRITUALITY IS AN UNECESSARY NECESSITY. WE ARE ALL FLAWED OBJECTS AND THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING.

I GOT VERY SICK IN TIRUPATI BY DRINKING FROM THE LOCAL WELL. IT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT WEEK, THAT TURNED INTO ME RISING FROM THE ASHES LIKE A GOD DAMN PHOENIX.

LOVE: I’VE HAD A CRUSH, BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I LOVE MY MOM A LOT.

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT: UNFORTUNATELY IS A GARBAGE PLAYGROUND FOR CLOWNS. IT’S AS IF THEY’RE TRYING TO DISTRACT US FROM THE REAL PROBLEMS.

I WANT TO BE, A SPACE COWBOY, WRITER, AND FISHING BOAT CAPTAIN.

LIFE PHILOPSHY: HAPPINESS IS PRINCIPLE. IF YOU HAVE THAT, YOU ARE TRULY UNSTOPPABLE.
