About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To better grasp the universal language.

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, yet easy going; light-hearted, yet slightly deep. Returning student of anthropology and Latin American culture. Music fascinates me at some point every day. Repetition is my biggest fear.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest as you see fit, while always being mindful of respect for others and, in turn, yourself. I like the idea of not taking myself too seriously and making sure that those around me are involved in "the moment."
