About Me

CURRENT MISSION

- to see the world through different lenses.
- to meet incredible people.
- to eat delicious international food.
- to relive history.
- to have a great time where ever I go.

ABOUT ME

Hello all! I come from a big family and I feel that's the reason why I think I am caring, out-going, and friendly! I love to eat all types of food, do outdoor activities, and most of all learn - all types of things, from academia to practical knowledge. I believe that learning about people and the interpersonal friendships that may occur is truly rewarding!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe life is about doing what you love and helping others along the way. We are in a world with more than 7 billion people and everyone has their own story. Getting to know people and their personal philosophy is so important because often than not it gives you perspectives you never dreamed of even thinking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an American Heart Association Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (AHA CPR) instructor, and I have access to materials to provide a course. I know that I will be a lifelong learner so anything that I don't know is always welcome, practical or not.

An airbed, towel, sheets, blankets, and pillows. If you just ask, chances are I will have it!
