About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Ayeeeeeee travelers!

I wake up every morning wondering how LIFE will surprise me. Today is the youngest you'll ever be. Live.Learn.Teach.Inspire. Today is the day. Enjoy it!!

Hope you're experiencing the time of your life! Can't wait to meet you...

PHILOSOPHY

Wherever you are in the world, try to make someone smile.

If we make each other happy then we just can't lose.

There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come most alive, because what the world needs is people who have come alive!

Interests
