CURRENT MISSION

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness,” Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

I love to see new places, meet new people, travel off the beaten path, help others...I'm getting my graduate degree in Counseling/Psychology, and would like to get a Ph.D. or Psy.D. after that.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ask and ye shall recieve:" Never be afraid to ask of life what your soul needs and desires - but also know that nothing is handed out for free; expect to work hard for it
