CURRENT MISSION

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

ABOUT ME

Energetic, vivacious, laidback - I enjoy traveling, good music, good food, and good conversations. All about trying new things - very open to new cultures and new ideas. I'm an existentialist - I think life is all about the experiences you have, and the ideas you pick up along the way. I live on the edge of my half-full cup.

PHILOSOPHY

Live as if you were to die tomorrow,
Learn as if you were to live forever.
