Welcome to my website!

States I lived in. (in order from oldest to newest)

Tennessee: By far one of the most beautiful states in the union and a personal favorite.

Mississippi: Despite the states amazing scenery, the people there are not the best (from trashy to straight up snobish). It's also funny how both my best friend Kurtis (with his father and family) and Dakota (still a lifetime friend) come from there. It shows that even in the roughest of areas you can find good people.
 

Alabama: An amazing state that way too many people will hate on. Despite how bad the education system is and how few opertunitys there are to get out of poverty, people are genuinly nice and will go to great lengths to help you out. 
 

Florida: There was a time I lived in the Florida but have since returned to Alabama. I graduated from pace and still visit the state a lot due to me having friends there. It's also my second favorite state.

States I have Visited. (in order of oldest to newest)
(P.s I will also show the number of times I have visited them)

Texas: Once as a small child to visit my grandfather, but I did stay in the dallas airport twice for my Vegas trip.

South Carolina: Did a trip to visit it's capital. My mom was born there and wanted us to see the city.  I loved the historical sites and the beach. My favorite was visiting a haunted prison that scared my sister badly.

Kentucky: Another beautiful state. I stayed in the country side and even got to visit mammoth cave. I stayed at the Yogi Bear campground where Yogi stole my toy gun. Can't have anything near Yogi.

Hawaii (Maui): We stayed on the island of maui for 14 days and the amount of love we recieved from the native locals and hospitality reminded me of the south. It felt like paradise and my heart aches for what happend to that island.

Georgia (State): By the end of 2025, I would've visited this state three times. Once I was a little kid, I visited north Georgia to stay in the mountains, second was to see the enthronment of my bishop to metropolitan (Sebastian), and third will be for Christmas 2025 where I plan to visit Helen Georgia. The state's natural beauty is incredible but there is just too many state troopers on them highways. 

Louisiana: I visited New Orleans twice. Both times convinced me that that city was 3rd world mess. The streets reek of urine, everyone is dressed like a two dollar hooker (even the men), con-men scamming everyone, buildings look like they went through a warzone, people screaming in the streets, and the second time I went I got food poisened. There really is no excuse for the city to be facing these issues and especially being considered one of americas fine cities. I'm sure the rest of the state is good and I do plan to visit one final time there to go see a monastery that is being built there but that's it.

Nevada and Arizona: I went to both of these states for my Vegas trip. I went to see my brother get married. It was hot as a stove-top and I had to drink water every minute. Vegas is a lot like New Orleans. Really the only reason to go to Vegas is for three things being Gambling, Drugs, and Hookers. All three of these things aren't really things I would imagine enjoying and so Vegas didn't appealed to me. But I did get to visit a Ethiopian Orthodox Monastery there and that was awesome. I also went to see the Northern part of the Grand Canyon, Which I love!

California and Illinois: Both were spots that I only stayed at the airport for a prolonged period of time while waiting for a flight. California was the last stop before Hawaii. I would like to visit California only because there are several sites that are considered Holy to Eastern Orthodoxy. in Chicago, Illinois, I was waiting for my flight to Munich, Germany. I did stay a night in the hotel and had some Chinese food.

Very Short list of countries I visited.

Georgia (country): I was genuinly impressed with how this nation was. Anybody, who believes America is a God fearing nation, would have their expectations shattered by the ancient faith of the Georgian people. They truly live the reality of Jesus Christ being the Godman and you see what that looks like. Even after hours many people will still visit the church and pray there. They make signs of the cross when they are near holy things, they help their fellow neighbor, they help the stray animals, even with those who struggle immensely are not left in the streets at night but find shelter at either places that help them or the church helps them. You could find churches in the middle of nowhere. While the country is not perfect (from the ruble of the war in 2008 to the fact that they are a former soviet block state), the people are very spiritually rich and are filled with the grace of God.

Armenia: It was a smaller trip but the Armenians reminded me of the Georgians a lot when it comes to their faith. Thier people epecially were nice to me and my Fiancèe. Their country is beautiful and they are a resilient people

Germany: I was only in Munich for a flight to and from Georgia. I stayed a total of 17 hours there. Part of me regrets not going and visiting the city but I was too worried about missing my flight. I do plan to go and visit their again someday.
