CURRENT MISSION

to live deliberately and experience cultures

ABOUT ME

i am an ISTJ personality type and always try to live in the world of possibilities. i'm the oldest of my siblings and quite responsible. however, i do like to party and am always up for spontaneous adventures. i like to color outside the lines, meet new people, and seize opportunities. i also love rock climbing, singing, exploring abandoned places, and photography.

PHILOSOPHY

the quote that i try to live by was written by Thoreau:
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

i am someone who very much lives in the present. this is not to say that i don't plan, but i try to fully experience everything around me before it slips away.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've watched a brooch of baby birds hatch from their eggs. i stood and watched for about 2 hours while all of them struggled to break free and come into the world, it was just beautiful !
