CURRENT MISSION

I'd like to capture the true essence of life, to smell the scent of every corner of the world, to embrace each person by their own individuality.

ABOUT ME

All I do is take pictures, work, go to college, hang out with my friends and do things I love in between. I absolutely LOVE photography, I LOVE to scuba dive, to go to the beach, I read and I love writing. The other things I love include - art, theaters, movies, cooking, eating food - cookies and pies and cakes, candy, crosswords, sound of an acoustic guitar and piano, sarcasm, camping, meeting new people, enjoying every moment of life. I would love to travel around the whole world before I settle down and have a family. My best friend and I spent 2 months of traveling around Europe this last summer and it was absolutely amazing. We plan on making our next trip to New Zealand and Australia, then who knows where else we might end up going. I tend to be an optimist, I hate stressing and I hate fighting and will do anything to solve whatever problem comes my way. I am going to college for chemical engineering and a double masters in Business Management and Biomedical Engineering, but later on in life, I'll work from home writing books, and then I'll sit out by the bonfire reading them to my enormous amount of kids. :) I am literally addicted to music. I love rock and blues and jazz and dubstep, as well as a lot of indie music and mashed songs but I tend to listen to pretty much anything, as long as the songs are good. I am very happy that I have what I have and the friends that are by my side.

PHILOSOPHY

I live this life to experience each emotion to its core potential. I would want to meet as many people as possible with as many different personalities as possible. I want to visit every country of the world and see how my perspective on various issues changes. I'm not afraid of change - its the lack of it that scares me. All in all - good friends and people is what I mostly want to gain in my life, all else amounts to nothing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went sky diving (that was pretty amazing for me). I also went scuba diving in the Bahamas 10 feet away from a barracuda while wearing a bathing suit with shiny beads and strings hanging down from it (oops, luckily no part of my body got snatched in the process).
