Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To experience life to the fullest with and open mind and creative eye.
ABOUT ME
LOVE
Love travel, love people, love life, love experiences, love interactions, love earth, love one love.
I work during the week, typically from 8-4, so I can't really explore during the week, but I'm usually up for an adventure during the weekend.
Having studied film & media in college, I have a special place in my heart for art, creativity, and the critical aspects of media.
PHILOSOPHY
We our on a Network of life that each of us are connected to, it's up to us to be open enough to let others connect with us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was in Spain for the World cup in '10 for the final 3 weeks of the tournament. I watched each game in a different city and was able to celebrate the final in Barcelona with the entire country. The day before I returned to the states, the parade for the spanish team ran right in front of my hostile and I got front row to congratulate the Spanish team.
