ABOUT ME

I think i got the travel bug late in life. After doing a stint as an English Assistant in France in the Fall of 2009, i had the fortunate opportunity to travel to quite a few places. Now I’m working for a non-profit and studying for the GRE. However, i still haven't given up on my traveling endeavors. I'm heading to France and Portugal for a visit in October. Life is good :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Buddha
