About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to meet fascinating people, to see inspiring places, to grow as a person and gain cultural enrichment!

ABOUT ME

I am looking for adventure and a way to visit countries in a deeper and more meaningful way, rather than the tourist route. I am a very friendly and caring person. Friends say I have a bubbly personality and am outgoing. I am looking forward to knew things and new ideas!

PHILOSOPHY

best expressed in quotes...

"For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
(this is why I strive to be a positive, high-minded person)

"If we wish to have love, we may have it by simply expressing it."

"Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it."

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me, it is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

~George Bernard Shaw
