CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life. Inspire more smiles.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy contrasts and spontaneity. I like burning calories by laughing and want to make a career out of taking pictures as I travel the world - over and over again.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy, minimize harm. Live and let live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a mountain top in China, Emei Shan, I saw my shadow on the clouds illuminated by a rainbow-like glow. This effect is only documented to occur in one other place in the world: Hawaii.

Teach, Learn, Share

Whenever you travel, learn 'hello', 'thank you', and 'it's delicious' - it's a simple way to earn approval and smiles.
