A Road Less Traveled

In and around World

In an attempt to break from the the confines of an 8-5 world in North America, I decided that now was the best time to further experience the world. Starting in Southeast Asia.....I plan to head west working as a freelance photo journalist, volunteer, and English teacher along the way.

The world is a big place and I plan to see it all....
