Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away.
ABOUT ME
I am an outgoing person and love to meet with new people from all over the world. I love nature and the beauty of our planet. I also enjoy helping others and have engaged in volunteer work home and abroad and I've wwoofed (volunteered on organic farms) in Spain and France. In terms of personality I'm down to earth, friendly and open minded and after that you can decide for yourself!
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Teaching the loveliest of loveliest children in India.
I ran down from an active volcano in Guatemala with a group of friends. The sand on the surface made it possible to descend down a vertical slope without falling on our faces! Great craic! ;-)
Staying with my friend's family in rural Morocco. Sharing meals with them (YUM!) and feeling part of the family.
