About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live each moment in life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I've always had a passion to travel and experience new cultures. I moved to Costa Rica in November 2011 to fulfill a dream of living abroad and immersing myself in a different culture. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in this beautiful country, but I feel like it's time to move on and travel more!

PHILOSOPHY

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
Dalai Lama
