PHILOSOPHY

" Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference"
-Robert Frost

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just day to day life in a culture other than my own is one of the most amazing things I have experienced
Watching a pack of Lions and cubs at Masai Mara reserve... I love animals and seeing them in the wild did leave me speechless.
Music Festivals and live music ...any day anytime always makes life a whole lot better !

Teach, Learn, Share

Hope to share my experience from travels and life thus far. From growing up to post college, i've tried to get in any chance possible to travel, whether is be for film or music festivals , work, or just vacation. Have soaked in every ounce of the culture around from the stories of the people along the way, the food , the sights, and the music.
