CURRENT MISSION
Give back to my community and others in need and to refocus on my health

ABOUT ME

Just a person trying to learn as much as I can every day. I believe that every time I travel my mind becomes more open. That's probably the best part of it all. Hope to meet and connect with you on a future journey.

PHILOSOPHY

Less meandering, more purpose.

""How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.' {Annie Dillard}

And yet most of us spend our days in what Kierkegaard believed to be our greatest source of unhappiness — a refusal to recognize that “busy is a decision” and that presence is infinitely more rewarding than productivity. I frequently worry that being productive is the surest way to lull ourselves into a trance of passivity and busyness the greatest distraction from living, as we coast through our lives day after day, showing up for our obligations but being absent from our selves, mistaking the doing for the being."
- Maria Papova (Brain Pickings)

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”
– Bill Bryson
