Sobre Mim
CURRENT MISSION
find and follow the good path, led by compassion.
ABOUT ME
PISCES, originally from the North, been living below the Mason-Dixon for over 3 years now and lovin' it.
"got myself a threadbare gypsy soul,
like to dance & drink and go wherever the wind blows
& got a little wild streak in my heart
& I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start."
Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are. -Anaïs Nin
PHILOSOPHY
What's the world if you don't let go of the logic and just see the beauty.
In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages.
-Thoreau
I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life but that great consciousness of life. -Jack Kerouac
â Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world. â - Voltaire
Simplicity that is consciously chosen, deliberate and intentional, supports a higher quality of life. In reality, it is consumerism that offers lives of sacrifice, whereas simplicity offers lives of opportunity. -Duane Elgin
â Im drawn to open country. Itâs where everything becomes clear, where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there, I always return with something new. A friend once told me: The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning, you didnât even think to ask. â- 180 South

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz
Took an orphanage in Vietnam away to the beach for the week. Incredible trip filled with so much love. Most amazing experience of my life.
*And then I want back for a 2nd time this year (2012) and fell in love all over again.
Visited Monkey Island in Vietnam (a secluded island, climbed a granite mountain and got attacked by monkeys. Most terrifying moment of my life.
Slip-n-slide on the first floor of a hotel room during a monsoon in Vietnam with the rain pouring in. Bloody knees - so.worth.it.
Halong Bay, Cat Ba Island. One of the most beautiful places on earth.
