CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, observe, listen, and learn. I also am on a mission to become a diplomat

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing and friendly person. I like to meet new people, to learn about other cultures, eat tasty food, and learn languages. I love to dance! I tend to appreciate authenticity over luxury. Overall, I savor the spontaneous and unique moments in life.

When I travel, I tend to hang around with locals rather than with tourists.

All I need to survive (other than the basics) are friendly loving people, good music, and sunshine. =)

PHILOSOPHY

To learn something from everyone I meet.
