CURRENT MISSION

My main goal in life is to meet people and learn from them!

ABOUT ME

I'm 28 years old, and I've spent most of my life travelling. You may find me to be rather quiet at first, as I prefer to listen to someone before speaking my own mind--it helps prevent insertion of the foot into the mouth! Someone who easily gets along with others and makes friends of strangers, I'm polite and upbeat, generous and inquisitive.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is amazing, take everything in stride and learn all you can while you're here. Talking about things is great fun, but doing things is so much better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A pretty mime once gave me her phone number, and when I called her later, no one answered. It's not amazing, but it's damn funny! I find all sorts of everyday things amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

A man named Paul Williams once wrote that the acquisition of material things is more pleasurable than the actual possession of them, and that no matter who or where you are, you always get what you need to survive, provided you have faith that you will.

Mr. Williams then noted this observation: If you always get what you need, and receiving things brings greater pleasure than owning them, then the best way to find pleasure in material things is to constantly give of what you have so that you are always in need.

It's not always easy, but since I began trying to practice this philosophy in my daily life, I've seen amazing things happen, and a greater sense of peace and joy has come into my life. I like to try and pass this nugget on.
