About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and broaden my culture perspectives!

ABOUT ME

I love life. Everything about it. I especially love flowers and animals. I'm probably one of the most enthusiastic people you'll meet. I suppose it can rub some people the wrong way, but rest assured I know how to tone down my enthusiasm.

PHILOSOPHY

Forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether it was good or bad, and great each new sun with the confidence that this will be the best day of your life.
