CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I love exploring new places and meeting new people. I am fortunate to have a job where I am constantly doing both. I would like to make some friends in the cities that I often fly to so i can experience the local scene :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live with the philosophy that there is no reason to be unhappy. We all create the world we live in - make it the best you can.
