I am a relaxing care free person, my only ambition is to find people and places that are interesting :). I love nature and the environment, Been a vegetarian for a few years now and love to grow organic. I don't mind being around those that eat meat, I am not a preacher.

I love anything creative - art, design, music, dance, acting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching Tibetan students in Dharamsala. The compassion, humbleness and happiness the Tibetans share is unlike any other culture. Especially considering the hardship theyve been through just to get out of Tibet and learn English. They are the strongest people i know and teaching them English and Computing was one of the most amazing things i have had the opportunity to do! Tashi Delek
