Find my path

ABOUT ME

Just finished a year teaching English in Spain and now I'm off to find out whats next. I'm an open-minded person who enjoys traveling, meeting new people, and learning about their culture.

PHILOSOPHY

believe nothing,
no matter where you read it
or who has said it,
not even if i have said it,
unless it agrees with your own reason
...and your own common sense.
-buddha

"I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free." -Michelangelo
