About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the world better for me being in it...... should've chosen something easier like climb Mt Fuji!

ABOUT ME

laid back. low maintenance. love food. love animals. love people. fun and crazy in bursts. party often. sleepy and book-wormish at times. This profile would be completely different if I wrote it tomorrow.
Recently been doing charity events to raise money to build a school in Cambodia next year, built one last winter and it was an amazing experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Before birth if you didn't know what body and which place you were going to be born in, what kind of world would you want it to be? Should everyone not try to create this?

Teach, Learn, Share
