About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"You don't have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body" -C.S. LEWIS

ABOUT ME

I have a really strong sense of scent. I seriously believe I have the nose of a bloodhound, and my friends can back me up on that.

I'm an adventurer. I want to explore the whole world, or most of it. I moved a lot growing up, so I get restless being in one place for too long. I really believe that traveling not only enriches the soul but brings you a kind of happiness or enlightenment that nothing else in the whole world can do, there is something about being out of your element and being surrounded by a different culture that thrills me. I think it's because I really do believe that the whole process is making me into a better person. I love that the more you travel, the more your connected with people from all over the world. I try hard to keep in touch with all my international friends, they're all valuable to me in so many ways.

I'm extremely into running, biking, swimming, and hiking. I love going on to places I've never been and doing adrenaline pumping activities, I have already swam with sharks and jumped off a couple of cliffs, but the work's never done, I hope to do sky dive soon! I'm not very afraid of many things, and as a result I will never have a career in leg modeling for they are scarred up from the ankle to the hip.

I'm not predictable, which in turn leads me to be too spontaneous (and there is such a thing), it's a give and take thing unfortunately

If your one of my close friends or family members, I would kill a dinosaur for you, blindfolded and one hand behind my back....basically anything

I'm extremely social and love getting to know people, the only thing that I probably dislike in the world is narrowminded-ness. If you believed in a religion that consisted of unicorns and cotton candy, I wouldn't judge you, I'd probably take you to a carnival. That's just who I am.

chances are, i like you.

PHILOSOPHY

So you could say my personal philosophies are all summed up in these following quotes;

"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body" -C.S. LEWIS

"Down to the wire
I wanted water but
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher" John Mayer

"That's why it works. Reason can be fought with reason. How are you going to fight the unreasonable? The trouble with you, my hear, and with most people, is that you don't have sufficient respect for the senseless. The senseless is the major factor in our lives. You have no chance if it is your enemy. But if you can make it become your ally- ah, my dear!" The Fountainhead

"When you want something you've never had, you have to do things you have never done."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three words. Stairway to Heaven....Hike... so actually four, otherwise known as the Haiku Stairs hike. I can't even explain it in less than five minutes, nonetheless in a little blurb box like this. For more information, try typing it in to google and doing some research (: Or hopefully if we ever meet I can tell you the story!
