About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my life in order so I can save $$$ and travel

ABOUT ME

Open minded, busy but always happy, helpful & interested in everyone I meet

PHILOSOPHY

appreciate the diversity of everyone we meet, life would be a bore if we were all painted with the same brush
"HAPPINESS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED" Into the wild
Remember PEOPLE are more important than destinations! Imagine the Eiffel Tower picking you up at Train Station at night!!!!!! - penned by a CSer from El Salvador

Love in the past, is only a memory
Love in the future is only a fantasy
True love lies in the here and now...
