CURRENT MISSION : Travel with purpose.

PHILOSOPHY: Be the change; Do something that scares me everyday; Earth is what we all have in common.

I've been a sign designer, a volleyball coach, a medical researcher, a photographer, an organizer, a yacht's stew / chef, an English teacher, a waiter, a video specialist, a personal assistant, a bartender, a salesperson, a tour guide, a bus driver, a teacher, a delivery person, a pet caretaker, a photo booth attendant, a survey taker, crew, journalist, hostel worker, environmental advocate, referee, blogger....and that's just professionally.

I appreciate every experience, big or small, great or hard, for making life truly colorful and amazing.
