Overview
About Me
Water and Fire are my two favorite elements, i Love being on any natural water (Ocean, Lakes, Rivers) i feel so connected to everything and at peace, Also i love being around a nice bong fire sharing with friends, playing guitar and laughing, also i love dancing with fire i been doing it for a few years now.
I grew up in the city and then decided to move to the Lake for a few years, Then I Lived in an island for 3 more years. Finally came back to the city.
While I was traveling I volunteered and meet so many wonderful people, I Also surfed a couple couches, That made me realize how much I can give to someone by simply offering a couch and a roof for a couple nights.
I enjoy working online since it gives me the freedom to be anywhere and decide my own schedule, My dream is to travel the world diving both the sea and the sky, as well as sharing with and giving to the community volunteering in local Schools, Hospitals and animal shelters.
Life is a miracle :D
