CURRENT MISSION

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

ABOUT ME

i dont think it is possible to fit who i am into this box.

PHILOSOPHY

"I do not have superior intelligence or faultless looks. I do not captivate a room or run a mile under six minutes. I only succeeded because I was still working after everyone else went to sleep."

Greg Evans

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

Mahatma Gandhi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

life is all about experiences and i have had tons and i cant wait for whats around the corner. where do i start...i grew up in a little village in the fiji islands that had no running hot water and i never had any shoes. my village was the defenition of poor. that was an experience. i left home (portland, OR) and went to Chicago, Il when i was 16 and have been living on my own ever since. i was in the army for 6 years. i am a skydiver and scuba diver. i've been to 15 countries. i meditate 3 hours a day. i have experienced many things in life that the avergage person does not and i would love to share them with a fellow surfer anytime!

Teach, Learn, Share

what can i teach?? hmmm.....i know Hindi and I am Indian; I'm also in the army. If you have ever wondered about those sort of things than i can try and answer those questions. Also i left home when i was 16 so I am inceredibly independet and think i am succesful in my perosnal and professional life. But to get here was quite a story, so if you like hearing stories, i have a whole book to share in words.

I also know about the topics listed under interests..i know more about some then others. I am still finding the path that i am meant to be on but i am always willing to tell you what i have learned and i would love to learn anything from anybody. i am a conversationalist and an extrovert..sitting down and talking about personal philosophies, books, life experiences and shared interests over a cup of tea or glass of vino always makes my day!
