About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet others, share a little of ourselves and makes the world a little more peaceful in the process.

ABOUT ME

I'm adventurous, always have to keep myself busy and in to new things.
I hope they would say I am kind, have a good sense of humor, I have a wonderful husband and 2 great kids. I am well-educated but have a open-mind for learning more! I love outdoor activities of all kinds and traveling of course.

PHILOSOPHY

To love, to laugh, to make a positive/lasting difference in others lives.
