About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Vis tes rêves au lieu de rêver ta vie! Live your dreams instead of dreaming your life away!

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer. I always have been and I always will be. I dream about traveling, I dream about life, I dream about most things. But when it comes to traveling, I have a tendency to realize my dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't cry because it's over, laugh because it has happened to you.
Carpe diem!
Vas, vis et deviens! (go, live and become!)
Take pleasure in the small things in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sunset over Kilimanjaro while planting corn in my families field in a small mountain village in Tanzania. Then watching my mother walking home with a big sack on her head and after returning home making dinner with my sister on a fire inside a small mud hut which was the kitchen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn Hausa and Swahili perfectly, and also Spanish (and many many more languages), I want to learn to play more instrument , I want to learn how to live with no regrets and I can share my life experiences, whatever it might be worth.
