ABOUT ME

I consider myself one of a kind, but if I must conform-Helen Levitt and her photojournalistic modus operandi. I come with humble dreams, ramblings and socialist ideals. A friendly stranger who enjoys an adventure in any form- be it in a book, a film, through sweat & tears, I'll take it.

PHILOSOPHY

Love fully, travel light, take time for yourself to grow, why? We are not human beings on a spiritual journey, we are spiritual beings on a human journey. . .
