CURRENT MISSION

be a sponge and a mirror

ABOUT ME

I am in awe of people and the world and the worlds inside people. I am someone who holds strong opinions and enjoys questioning them. I don't believe limitations exist to how much we can understand or accept or experience. I believe in humanity! I don't like labels, because people are changing all the time.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everything is about perspective: little things and big things and medium things making you happy, making you laugh, or guffaw, or chuckle, or roll your eyes, or giggle, or just smile. I believe people will be who they are, and that's ok, but that you should also push yourself. I believe judgments are very rarely justified, because I only know myself, not someone else's situation, and even knowing myself is questionable at times. I believe I could talk like this for a very long time, but it's better to live it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the moments when I've felt burstingly alive- skinnydipping in the Adriatic Sea at night, sneaking out of my residence to watch the stars over Mostar, Bosnia, a beautiful time with a friend or a stranger.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share laughs and insights and mistakes! More tangibly, I can share good food and singing and hopefully a couch. I can teach you to walk on stilts or make Chilean food or play some songs on the piano. I can tell you about my experience jumping completely out of my little bubble world and into whatever one is out there, and realizing it's all one, and I can ask you about your experience !
