CURRENT MISSION To make the world a better place. ABOUT ME I left the U.S. for the first time when I was nineteen years old and since then I haven't been able to shake the travel-bug. I've spend the last 7 years abroad. I've lived in Nicaragua, Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia), Colombia, Brazil and Peru. I'm fascinated by cultural differences and things that we all have in common. I believe that we have the responsibility to try to make a positive impact on our world and that we can do that by fostering understanding, compassion, and kindness. PHILOSOPHY You can live your life for yourself and you'll probably have a lot of fun, but if you live your life for others, you'll discover true happiness.
