About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

ABOUT ME

I am random, a lot of fun, I can be a little bit of a dork, but accept it, embrace it. I like to enjoy life and try to make the most of it.

I like watching movies, exploring (getting lost) and I love learning about other cultures.... and... i love to cook, ((mainly desserts)).

and just know that whatever you think is going to happen next, you're wrong...

PHILOSOPHY

"I wish you a story with a happy ending and the wisdom to look for it."

"That's why human beings exist... to save each other from ourselves."

"We have to stay alive, because we have to see how the story ends."

Once in awhile it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It took only the first few days in Edinburgh to know I could love Scotland and then the next couple days in the Highlands to know I was in love with Scotland. Still, didn't see or eat nearly enough.
I've spent 4 weeks in Florence, eating my way through Tuscany and Venice.
I've also spent about 12 days travelling all throughout Ireland.
The craziest travel I have ever done is hiking around Iceland for two weeks!! One ot THE MOST amazing places on this Earth.

Austria, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, United Kingdom
