American expat living in Kuwait...

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...
