CURRENT MISSION

To experience, learn, grow and enjoy!

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, friendly, sociable, funny.. A bit silly at times!

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think that if you give your patience, time, care and understanding to others, then hopefully the same will be returned to you. Be good to people, learn from them, teach to others... I think participating in all of these cycles can make life a truly wonderful experience for oneself, and for the others around you.

I try to be open minded about everyone and their own personal life philosophies, and I always believe there is something to be learned and taken from any one situation, good or bad.
