CURRENT MISSION

travel a bit in europe, make friends, and be a part of excellent experiences in the lives of others

ABOUT ME

Basically, you only live once, and if you dont feel like your really living...something should change.

I was a financial analyst in Dallas, TX for a multi million dollar company....had a comfy life - my own boat, great friends, and knew everybody in the city...but i felt like there just werent enough challenges in my life. So I quit the job, sold my major posessions, and traveled Europe for the summer...amazing.

Now I have settled down in Colmar, France to study français, oo la la :) I really like it here and I hope to travel to the near by cities and country, by bike as much as possible.

I speak Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian mother) and English (British father) and some Italian from my travels, little French... and I enjoy learning more!!

I love surfing, sailing, soccer, sun, and dancing! I am from Dallas, TX and cant travel enough.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the max...but make sure you take it in the direction you want to go...in other words 'if you dont make your own flow, the wave can take you where you dont want to go.'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wouldnt call anything I have done amazing, although some may think that a few things were unique and admirable...traveled to New Zealand alone, bought a catamaran without knowing how to sail (learned pretty fast!), quit my great job to travel and be a french student...
