Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am currently thriving on new experiences, human connection, and self-discovery. I love seeing new places and getting the thrill of travel.
ABOUT ME
(Until end of June 2010 I was) living and loving life in France, teaching English to lycéens, trying to perfect my French...
I'm most happy about little things.
PHILOSOPHY
"Every experience is of value...no life is spoiled but one whose growth is arrested."
--Oscar Wilde
"This can be the moment. It is because you don’t use this moment that you have to wait for the next one. This is always the moment. Are you going to tighten it up, or every time discomfort comes, will you think, ‘oh, this is not for me’? It is definitely not for you if this is so. I am not saying the path is difficult, it’s just that you make it difficult. The path is not difficult, it’s very simple. If you are simple, it’s very simple. If you are all wound up, the path is very, very winding. That’s all it is.” -----Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
"On really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion." -from Waking Life
"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur." -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
"Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all"
-Andrew Bird, 'Tables and Chairs'
