About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I am in every sense a travel addict. I live for the adventures, meeting people from different backgrounds, sharing ideas, learning about history, and trying to speak new languages. The minute I return from a trip, I book a new one. I love to travel as a curious local, not a tourist. I am very open to different religions, cultures, ways of life, traditions. I am passionate about human rights and a sincere activist for what I believe.
I am very interested in photography and photojournalism. Recently, my friends and I started a nonprofit organization geared to helping orphans, former child soldiers, and victims of war in Uganda.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

I am new to CS, but I cannot wait to start participating! I welcome everyone on my couch! I live in a great neighborhood in the heart of Chicago. Lots of coffee shops (if you are an addict like me), art galleries, boutiques, ice skating rinks, and other little adventures.
