About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to experience as many cultures first hand as I can

ABOUT ME

Im a fun and easy going person who is just looking to enjoy life and the people I meet, while still being able to get the most rewarding experiences that i can. I try to be 'green,' as living harmoniously w/ the environment is important to me.

PHILOSOPHY

To me the point of life is achieving happiness and I think that in order to do this, you must help other people before helping yourself. I try to gain my own sense of comfort and happiness through exchanging cultural differences while learning and teaching others.
