CURRENT MISSION

not to sit around impassively while the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life

ABOUT ME

hello everyonel! I'm a passionate traveller and an easy going open minded person who happens to love music, sports, nature, outdoor activities, and getting to know new and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

€œtwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. so throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. catch the trade winds in your sails. explore. dream. discover.”

"there is pleasure in the pathless woods,
there is rapture on the lonely shore,
there is society where none intrudes,
by the deep sea and the music in its roar;
I love not man the less, but nature more."
