ABOUT ME

Hi There! I am taking a sabbatical from work and traveling around country to country in 2011. What a great time to explore and experience the world. I like to have fun and make the most of what life offers. I look forward to meeting new people and cultures. I am headed to Southeast Asia and then to OZ, New Zealand, Fiji....who knows after that!

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your dreams, do not settle, and never look back. After working almost 20 years climbing the corporate ladder, I found out that life is way too short not to explore further than the four walls of your space. This is the time for reflection and see the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
