Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel is to live
ABOUT ME
I'm an adviser at a local university working mostly with international students. I also coach volleyball, which is a passion of mine (coaching, playing, watching). I enjoy learning about other countries and cultures and in some ways I feel more at home when traveling abroad.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm just trying to bring some happiness to myself and others.
