CURRENT MISSION

"All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware." -Martin Buber

ABOUT ME

I am passionate about many things, good at some and curious about most.
My first international travel experience was at the age of 12-years-old, when I went along with 400 other girls to do mime skits in the flavelas of Rio de Janeiro without any of my family.

PHILOSOPHY

"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
- Andy Warhol
