About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To never stop learning

ABOUT ME

I like to believe I am an interesting person, I've lived in a couple different countries, and have taken away a few interesting stories from them. I like meeting new people, and I enjoy a bit of random adventure every now and then.

When I go to a new country I am not interested in only seeing the tourist attractions or spending my time in a mall. I want to find out what makes that particular country special.

I am also uninterested in spending copius amounts of money in some night club. I don't mind partying but I prefer to drink some beer or wine in a bar or on a field somewhere with good company.

PHILOSOPHY

Never forget what is beautiful and what makes you happy. I think too many people get caught up in the whirlwind of daily life and forget to make time for the things that are truely special. I don't want to be one of those people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
