CURRENT MISSION

To cram in as much experience as possible in a single lifetime

ABOUT ME

Irene- I have a bad case of wanderlust, but in the last four years I've had to sit tight for a bit in one location. The things in life that seem are worth living are family, friends and the bumpy parts of the road.

Ideally, I would love to live in a perfect pain free world. However, I think the imperfections in anything show the beauty and grandeur of spontaneity and chaos.

PHILOSOPHY

Run before life out runs you.
