About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spending 2 weeks in Italy in April 2017, then a week in Amsterdam and Paris in October and somewhere else in Europe for a week in November.

ABOUT ME

I am a wanderer who can't seem to find the right place to settle down yet. I enjoy living. I hate to be boxed in. I live very spontaneously.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy in life is to not have any regrets. We only regret the things we didn't do, not what we did. Sometimes you have to take risks and just take a chance and live your life. Tomorrow will take care of itself.
