ABOUT ME
Easygoing, funny, talkative, spontaneous, adventurous

PHILOSOPHY
Sometimes feeling as trapped in a box (the city, the school, the jobs, the world) and no matter how we try to escape, self-help, therapy, drugs, we just sink further and further down. The only way to truly break out of the box is just to get rid of it altogether and to start a new road trip. :)

I've always thought there were people who leave an indelible mark on your soul. An imprint that can never be erased. Give a chance to meet with them. Don't sit. Move move moooooovve
