Travel has always been a way for me to connect with the world in a deeper, more meaningful way. But nothing could have prepared me for the impact India had on me. From the moment I arrived, I was immersed in a vibrant mosaic of color, spirituality, tradition, and kindness. Every street corner, every temple, every interaction felt like a story being told — not just of a nation, but of something much older and more sacred. Now, this mandala tattoo is now a permanent part of me, just as India
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would say " bad decisions make good memories"
What would you do with the $25,000?First, I would finish building my dream expedition vehicle. I’ve been working hard on this project, slowly piecing together a rig capable of traveling the entire Pan-American Highway — the longest motorable road in the world, stretching from Alaska all the way to Argentina. This has been a passion project fueled by a love of overlanding, exploration, and a desire to challenge myself by stepping into the unknown. Also while I am on the trip I will give me mom 5k in rent to help out.
