CURRENT MISSION To live a creative & productive life, inspiring people to pursue their dreams & making new friends along the way. ABOUT ME Writing and art have been my passion & livelihood, as well as recent stints working in the wine industry in the Napa Valley, California. One of the most important things to me in life is travel - seeing new places, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, learning new things & sharing my country & culture with others. I have been an artist and writer most of my life, and travel inspires me. Making friends around the world is one of my greatest pleasures, and I've learned that people are more alike than different. PHILOSOPHY Be kind, and share your smiles, they're free!
