CURRENT MISSION

To attain self-actualizaton through meaningful interpersonal relationships

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, going to new places and trying new things. I'm really into music and try to see at least one concert a month. I'm intensely curious about people and life. I like to take risks and will try anything once or twice if I like it!

PHILOSOPHY

He who does not travel does not know the value of men. Meaning you must travel to understand that although people may differ on the surface, we are really fundamentally the same.
