About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience. Reflect. Understand. Love. Repeat.

ABOUT ME

I am a happy person who enjoys experiencing life. Always trying to subdue my ego. I enjoy connecting with people from around the world.
I am honest, easy-going, and eager to learn.
I really enjoy the company of children. They are so refreshing and wise. I enjoy being active - ultimate frisbee, swimming, running, x-country skiing, snowshoeing. I can be an extrovert but need to recharge my batteries in solitude every once in a while. Recently taught ESL in Korea and really enjoyed it. Going to Prague to take a teaching course, then back to teaching in Korea for at least a couple of years.

PHILOSOPHY

I read the other day that we live for 600000-700000 hours. This floored me. I try to enjoy life as much as possible and make every minute count for me. I try to do this by being engaged, creating, and handling with care everything that life gives me. I try to be wise & kind, stay balanced, exercise patience, and always try to understand. Try to go with the flow without compromising my personal beliefs. Always changing, always growing.
