CURRENT MISSION

Spreading love and light

ABOUT ME

I enjoy playing the guitar and have a love of music, literature, visual arts and film. I've travelled throughout Mexico and China and consider both countries my 2nd home. I enjoy traditional gong-fu style tea, vegetarianism, walks in the park, being seaside and visiting Buddhist temples :) ig profile: r_s_rodriguez
