CURRENT MISSION

Traveling is life!

ABOUT ME

After living in Japan for three years, I caught the insatiable travel bug and now I'm back at it, leaving the country for new destinations, any chance that I get. I currently work for an educational non-profit managing the communications platform, which is perfect for me because I get to make a difference while also growing professionally.

PHILOSOPHY

The moment, the now is all we ever really own, therefore recognizing it and appreciating it's existence is essential in the perpetual pursuit of happiness.
