CURRENT MISSION

Humanity is the only nation

ABOUT ME

I am an addict...seriously addicted to traveling and living a life less ordinary. I have been to every continent except Antarctica. I am a terrible planner and very impulsive. I traveled, worked and lived abroad from 2002-2006. Currently I am a Peace Corps volunteer and I will be living in Nicaragua for the next two years. I am very spontaneous and will do just about anything on a moment´s notice!

PHILOSOPHY

"I've never seen the point of pain at all. The trick is not how much pain you feel- but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain; excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses. When you wind up in bed at the age of 87 like me, the only pain you'll feel is for all the useless pain you felt, all the times you let yourself not do something because of fear and cowardice, all the times you let the bastards and kibitzers and the life shrinkers hold you back."
Henry Miller
