ABOUT ME

Explorer, open-minded and contemplative.

I live a slightly unconventional yet traditional life. I'm an outdoor enthusiast, a life-learner and a lover of beauty as experienced through art, music, nature, etc. A minimalistic lifestyle appeals to me more than the American Dream. I love to explore off-beaten paths, neighborhoods and hole-in-the-wall places in cities.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world.
-Mahatma Gandhi
