About Me

CURRENT MISSION

follow your bliss

ABOUT ME

I am a writer and documentary photographer. I am really intense and really silly, all mushed together at the same time. I like leading but I am also into following lately. I like being around people but lately I have become a bit of a loner. Maybe I am just a shy extrovert with abundant curiousity... Love to travel, play with food and cook, breath into yoga, and people watch.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your bliss.
