CURRENT MISSION

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier." -Mother Theresa

ABOUT ME

"I love her to death, but sometimes I don't know how she gets through the day..." -my roommate to her mom.
I am all over the place. I almost always have a new random hobby or goal. This month: learn to play the ukulele and speak Portuguese.
I am a very loyal friend and love making new ones.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Travel is an art, and like any art, it requires talent, application, the willingness to skate beyond the fringes of the known. It requires a solid faith in one's own resourcefulness as well as a bone-deep belief that the universe is a place more benevolent than otherwise." -A Banana Republic Pamphlet
