About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To follow our bliss...

ABOUT ME

We, Lareina and Diana, are two adventurous women with high expectations of ourselves and an intense attraction to the unknown. We like to go the roads less traveled and really dig deep into the culture. We are both 22 years old but our minds are beyond our years.

About me (Lareina):

I have a passion for discovering what the world is made of; the flora, the fauna, the people, the economies, societies, cultures, history and evolution of whatever it is I'm living in today. I want to uncover truths and secrets and mysteries. That's why I travel. I want to see nature's wonders and wildlife (before it's all destroyed by world industry), get a glimplse into how other people live and feel, and I want to hear their stories. I thrive off of the deep-soul-joy of breathing in the experience of life in places so different from my home.

In my regular every day life, I spend time at work and/or at school, riding my motorcycle, talking with people, building my close relationships, reading the news, lightly researching major issues, reading random stuff on the internet (sites like Reddit fuel my addiction to information), attending various group meetings (e.g. UnitedNow Council; Anarchist Reading Circle; Polyamory 101), quietly observing people in chilled-out-hippy-cafe's, and eating delicious food.

I like deep conversation. I'll get right into psychology, politics, religion, abortion, human rights, whatever. Why talk on automatic when you can expand your mind?

About her (Diana):
Still in progress of filling this part in.

PHILOSOPHY

Change is the only constant; go with the flow of the river and enjoy the ride, but learn to navigate the current and take part in your adventure. Observe, listen, contemplate.
