CURRENT MISSION

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

ABOUT ME

I am easy going and love traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice. Be real. Don't compromise. Don't complain. Do what interests you, not what you are supposed to. Every person's experience is their own, try to appreciate it from their eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nevis is great for watching the fireflys in the bush and the stars in the sky. It is one continuous canopy of light.
I just got back from a couple weeks in Peru, another amazing Latin American country.
