CURRENT MISSION

To be open to whatever comes my way. To live, love, and laugh as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I believe in simplicity so I'll try to keep this short....basically I'm a fun loving, easy going person who can find humor in just about anything (what would life be like without humor, smiles and laughter?). I recently heard this quote "Specialization is for insects" and that pretty much sums up my philosophy on life. I try to experience as much as possible which has led me to doing many interesting things, traveling to many interesting places in the world, and surfing many interesting couches along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy life, however or wherever that may be, to never stop learning and growing, and to be a positive light to others.
