CURRENT MISSION

In a word, "travel."

ABOUT ME

I'm very easy going and relaxed. Life has taught me to slow down and look at the big picture, but at the same time, go fast enough not to miss out on the good stuff. I have lived all over the world (Czech Republic, Poland, Peru, South Korea, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa) and find myself in Saudi Arabia for the second time. It is my goal in life to do everything that this world has to offer....

PHILOSOPHY

Be present. Be happy. Be fun.
