CURRENT MISSION with all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. be cheerful. strive to be happy. ABOUT ME i love traveling and i love meeting new people. i have traveled all over europe, morocco, ecuador and have lived in the u.s., england, ireland and costa rica. i feel that there have been so many times (especially in countries where i haven't spoken the language) that i have needed help in some way and people just come out of the wood work when you need them. which contributes to my belief that the world is still a beautiful place with good people. i love having an ordinary 'perfect' day. the type of day when nothing great happens, but you can hang out with friends or at the beach and the whole day you are just simply aware that it's a really good day. they are rare... i love: -people who make me laugh and love making others laugh. -a good cup of tea with just the right amount of milk and sugar. -blowing off school work to just 'read a book for fun.' -when plans fall through and then something completely unexpected and fun happens and it turns out there's nowhere i would've rather been. -when it snows really hard and a heavy silence fills a city. -i love watching my nephews play. -road trips when you drive through the mountains and all you see is road ahead of you. -when the wind blows really hard in costa rica. -driving under tunnels when it's raining and there's a little moment of silence... PHILOSOPHY we do what we need to be free. Karma. don't force it. the future will always be unclear. if money is the only thing keeping you from doing something...it's not a good enough reason. things always work out.
