About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make time and money think twice.

ABOUT ME

Though it's relatively easier these days to travel, I still seek the challenges that get to the gut of it all. And one of those challenges is not falling into the superficiality of interacting with new places and new people.

I'm restless, outgoing, open-minded, understanding and I consider myself very sensitive to others. I have a soft spot for spontaneity and adventurous gestures.
