CURRENT MISSION

To experience that which I could not otherwise do without a plane, and idea and some good people.

ABOUT ME

I am seeking out an education and meeting new people in new cultures. Kind of like Faust, but without the want to rid of this world, because I, unlike Faust, want to laugh, sing and enjoy this world.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life, because there is only one to live...
