CURRENT MISSION

breaking boundaries between cultures and countries

ABOUT ME

I'm a mix of different cultures - mainly American and Iranian, but have absorbed much from the people and cultures that have touched me in traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Just some ideas I've picked up along the way: people from different cultures can teach you a lot about yourself. moving through difficulties/disturbances is more effective than resisting them, and a lot can be learned from making this effort. keeping a 'mental breeze' can help in moving through such things - keeps the mind relaxed and focused...
