CURRENT MISSION expand my horizons ABOUT ME I try to live my life in a way that will allow me to live with myself. To me, this means taking chances and always looking for new experiences. I am unusually open to new ideas and I love collecting memories of my adventures. I am an urban explorer and have explored in and around Chicago. I have been playing ukulele for over 6 years. I crochet and I like being surrounded by plants and nature. PHILOSOPHY Because I find myself able to assimilate into any situation, I've found that I can easily lose myself. There are so many people in this world that I would love to get to know. It overwhelms me. I truly feel that we are limitless and believe people are inherently good.
