Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I aim to live to my full potential, better myself and learn from the world constantly, share new experiences and help others along the way.
ABOUT ME
I am an energetic person, generally. Very enthusiastic about dancing and playing music. Sometimes I can also be quite introspective and enjoy engaging conversations about politics, economics and the state of the world. I love to laugh and create laughable situations!
PHILOSOPHY
"Security is mostly superstition, it does not exist in nature. Life is a daring adventure, or nothing." - Helen Keller

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was visiting my sister in Indonesia one unforgettable moment for me was when the two of us and her boyfriend were flying down the road on on moped and i was on the back holding a big bag of live eels off of one side of the bike and a giant spikey durian off of the other. What a good moment to be alive in the warm smokey indonesian air! Haha
