CURRENT MISSION

To travel and have fun learning more about the world and myself.

PHILOSOPHY

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

Interests

I enjoy studying different cultures and languages. I enjoy meeting new people, trying new things, such as new foods, activities, hiking, photography, participating in cultural festivals and events.

Music, Movies, and Books

These are shows...but whatever they are great: The Twilight Zone(original series), Unsolved Mysteries, Boardwalk Empire, Rome, The Tudors, Sons of Anarchy, Prison Break, Breaking Bad.
