Hey, my name is Max and I'm in the U.S. Navy.My life's been sort of a roller coaster. In high school, I was a published author and photographer, and I made enough money off of that to just barely live. When I graduated, I lost over 300 pounds and was attending art school for film production. However, if I stuck with that, I would be $200,000 USD in debt with no true plan. I was a coffee slinger and childcare worker to pay my bills, but it wasn't enough. That was a huge stress source for me because I knew I wanted to travel and that I wanted better for myself.
