Welcome Austin Santangelo an adventure enthusiast with a deep notion that personal growth is the key to happiness. Traveling the world (five of the seven continents) has taught him that fulfillment is in the experiences we're blessed with and accomplishments we make. He truly believes we as a society need to resort back to our humanly instincts at a very fundamental level and that modern society along with technological advancements have gravitated us away from many of our natural behaviors. Being a fitness junkie, Scuba diver, Snowboarder, aspiring skydiver and habitual writer, reader and meditator has forced him to the realization that nothing happens overnight and learning to enjoy the process is absolutely necessary! It's his dream to inspire and be inspired by likeminded people with a passion for an unorthodox lifestyle, unafraid to step out of their comfort zone.
