ABOUT ME
I'm very positive, laid-back, and always in a good mood. I love to travel, visit new places, experience different cultures...the works.
I move a lot, usually not too far from the previous city but I did live in Chicago for a while..GREAT city and I miss living there!

PHILOSOPHY
"Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll' philosophy." - Denis Waitley
