CURRENT MISSION

To find happiness everyday!

ABOUT ME

At the moment I'm a Peace Corps Youth Development Volunteer in Bulgaria. I teach English, coach basketball, make activities/games for the kids in my village, and do a little physical therapy. I'm really chill and laid back, and I enjoy the simpler things in life. I love to read, listen to good music, and travel, all when I have time and preferably at the same time!

PHILOSOPHY

We should be ashamed to die until we've made some major contribution to human kind. I believe humility and compassion are two of the most important characteristics a person can have, and I strive everyday to use and improve both. I believe that you don't get in life what you want, but what you are, and it's not important to become a person of success but a person of value. I could go on all day, but maybe we'll have the pleasure of meeting and I can continue.
