CURRENT MISSION

Love, learn, and laugh.

ABOUT ME

I'm a candid and friendly person. I'm very curious and I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I'm amazed at how values and customs can be utterly different in other parts of the world, and yet people's concerns and preoccupations can be quite similar even if they grew up in opposite cultural backgrounds.

I'm easy-going and I enjoy doing things in the spur of the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

'Be here now.'
