About Me

CURRENT MISSION
is creating a movie of my life I'd want to watch over and over again while 'unpacking' my 'backpack'.
ABOUT ME
Chill, down-to-earth, meditative, contemplative, camera-toting, globe-trotting soul inspired by random acts of kindness that I encounter on my journey . . .
PHILOSOPHY
Be cool...
