CURRENT MISSION

To see everywhere, soak up the views, know the people!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, but don't we all here? I am a quiet introvert trying to see the world. I open up fairly quickly. I love to dance, not well mind you. I prefer beer over wine. I love to meet new people and to learn about them and their experiences. I am easily wowed and find inspiration in the accomplishments of others. I am kind of wandering right now! Not quite sure where/who I want to be, so I am trying some lives on for size. I am in Lisbon right now, and I love it so far. Laid back cultures are a new thing to me!

PHILOSOPHY

It is still in its formative years, so I wont be too strict in defining my personal philosophy.
I prefer to live and let live, I try not to let life pass me by. You are the main character in your personal narrative! Don't be okay being a side character. Love yourself, eat extra dessert, dance until your feet bleed, soak up all the sun you can and bank it for the rainy days.

I have existential crises that help me validate me living the way that I do. Nothing matters in the long run, so live for today and take chances.
