CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I like to look at maps and think about the next destination. How I will get there? What will I see? Who will I meet? I love to see new places and meet new people. I like to learn about different cultures, and ways of life. I like to eat new foods and drink new drinks!

PHILOSOPHY

"Urge and Urge and Urge. Always the procreant urge of the world."

"Life! Life! Life is the only thing worth living for!"
