CURRENT MISSION

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about

ABOUT ME

The most attractive quality in someone is passion.
I am passionate about these three things:

1. Traveling
2. Drama
3. Learning new things. This ties into eating new things- i.e. street food on a stick in China (ex. silkworm, sheep penis) Also learning new languages.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment. Don't be a follower.

I try and learn new languages by immersing myself in the culture that it's spoken. The next language I want to learn is Arabic. After that it will be Portuguese.
