Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Attend RedR trainings for Emergency Humanitarian Relief Work, as well as stay in an Ashram and experience Bollywood!!!
ABOUT ME
I love to travel, and after living selfishly for sometime, I am trying to incorporate my love for humanity with travel. Thus I started grad school to study International Development, and my journey down this path took me from East Timor to now India!
PHILOSOPHY
Happiness is not a destination – it is a series of moments one experiences in the moment. Happiness is not a place one reaches when such and such happens; happiness is the feeling that you are doing what you want to be doing, and you know that if you could choose anything, you would be choosing exactly this.
