CURRENT MISSION

To live, love, and learn as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

i'm an adventurous spirit.. constantly questioning and searching for things i'm not even sure what i'm searching for. i try to live with an open heart and spread love to those i don't know. i don't think there's much that can help change the world accept love and understanding. i give smiles to strangers and hope to make the world a better place.

i crave new experiences and learning as much as i can on my journey of life.

PHILOSOPHY

love is all you need. - the beatles
