About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live the good life, travel the world and bring a piece home with me everywhere I go!
ABOUT ME
I was born in Thailand and grew up in America. All my life from childhood to high school, I grew up in a small town in the Midwest. Geography was my favorite subject since we would learn about different places of the world. I grew up with my mom who didn't speak English, having to take care of my family while I was growing up and going thru college. We were a low class income family so I grew up never traveling anywhere and didn't have much. After highschool, I packed my stuff and moved down to Arizona with very little things. I think the reason why I wanted to travel the world was because of the way I grew up. So after I got settle in Arizona, I started to travel to NYC and Hawaii this year. It really made me happy! So I am looking forward to 2013!
PHILOSOPHY
First, having a personal philosophy will help. It is the greatest determining factor in how your life will work out. I believe in living by a life of design and not a life of default. Too often, people are so caught up living day by day, pay check to paycheck, always chasing money, that they forget about their dreams and goals in life and what they look forward to everyday. Setting goals and learning how to achieve it is what I'm learning to master in life. I believe in personal development and taking a few hours a week to work on myself. It's the best investment in yourself. Most importantly, I believe in living a good and creative life, but only you can define what that is ;-)
Some quotes that I live by:
Don't change your dream lifestyle to fit your income; change your income to suit your dream lifestyle. -Kim Kiyosaki
A dream too big is just the right size. -Collette Larson
Don't wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom. -JIm Rohn
Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become. -Jim Rohn

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I like waking up and doing spontaneous things such as buying a last minute flight to Hawaii or waking up and driving to Las Vegas for a couple of days and just eat my heart out! All the wonderful, good tasting food everywhere!
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy learning from other people's experience, whether it be business or pleasure. You can never be too content in what you know. If you're not growing, you're dying. I am an expert in advertising and marketing, so I enjoy sharing what I learn and cool tips in social media. And I love to cook, so I don't mind sharing my recipes or cooking tips.
