ABOUT ME

The first international trip I ever took was to Paris in 2000, when I was 10 years old, with my family. I can still remember, so vividly, climbing the stairs of the Eiffel Tower and standing infront of the Arc de Triomphe with my little brother. Since then I've traveled to nearly 20 countries mostly in Europe and Asia with 1 in South America (ayyy brasilia!) and 2 in Africa.

I'm super outgoing and love to party and have fun. I'm pretty much always down for anything and everything!

one of my worst travel habits: I buy things in markets everywhere I go that I never use and never give away but don't necessarily want. I just love the challenge of bargaining :)

PHILOSOPHY

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement 2005

He said it better than I ever could. Follow your heart, listen to your body, your soul, and don't let anyone hold you down.
