CURRENT MISSION

Work...Travel...Study...Travel...Work...Study...Work...Travel...Study

ABOUT ME

I like connecting with people. I am amused by little things, but often overlook details. I like puzzles, quotes and doodling. I used to tell people I wanted to change the world, which eventually led me to a MA program in Conflict Resolution.

PHILOSOPHY

Just Be. Planning is fun but expectations are treacherous. "What do you want to be when you grow up" is a silly question - are you supposed to live your life waiting for the moment you "become?"
