About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Im ready to travel and see the world, share whatever life lessons with my world and connect with as many like minded folk, learn from them, teach and have a lot of fun and a life full of love, gratitude and abundance.

ABOUT ME
I love telling stories, especially through film and tv, this life is too short to enjoy everything, but im willing to squeeze in as much as i can.
i read, write, listen, learn and contribute to those around me.
easily inspired with an insatiable appetite for knowledge. drama free and definitely a lover not a fighter.

PHILOSOPHY

"whatever works" (taken from a Woody Allen film released in 2009)
"Do You" - adopted from Rusell Simmons meaning just do what what you feel comes from within, stay true to yourself and who you are.
