About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I aim to understand, learn, adventure and love.

ABOUT ME

I like to adventure and meet new people, try new things, expand my understanding and spread the love.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to love. A stranger is just a friend that I haven't met yet. Seek to understand then to be understood. Facts are not fate, what matters is the stand you take. We all become important when we realize our goal is to figure out our role in the context of the whole.I like to understand people. I like to accept people. I like to adventure with people. I like to experience new things with people. I like to love people. I like to learn about people. I like to help people. I like to listen to people. I like to laugh with people. I like to cry with people.
