Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
~Joseph Campbell
ABOUT ME
I love life and travel is my passion!
I want to see the world.
For me success in life is not measured by fame or wealth but by life experiences and happiness.
I tend to make the best out of all situations and simply try to see the positive in everything.
Majority of the time being angry, jealous, or even worrying is a waste of time and does nothing to change the reality of things.
I am very down to earth and free spirited, having faced many adversities in life I have become extremely grateful for all that encompasses my life.
I absolutely love to experience new things. This is probably the biggest reason I love to travel so much.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is made up of moments and I believe every moment should be cherished and made the most of.
For me traveling is not about checking off a list of tourist destinations but rather truly getting to experience how other people around the world experience life.
I travel people not places.
You can be anybody or anything that you want to be, you simply need the courage to change.
"Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects."~ Will Smith, passing judgment on others only makes you a fool.
Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.
