About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Love, Laugh

ABOUT ME

Love simplicity. Love life. Love to laugh. Love to travel, learn about people, culture and history. Love music, art and outdoor activities. Love animals, wild life and nature. Like to talk and love to listen. Quiet at times, loud at times. Love spontaneity. Never put a full stop to everything, mostly question marks. Found home not in places, but in people.

PHILOSOPHY

- It takes getting everything that you've ever wanted and losing it, to know what true freedom is.

- Some people never go crazy, what truly horrible lives they must lead. ~ Bukowski

- We're all broken, that's how the light gets in.
