CURRENT MISSION

To live out my dreams. To make new dreams. And to smile in this life.

ABOUT ME

An open-minded, student of life. I try to learn about cultures from around the world with respect to differences in thoughts, foods, lifestyle, clothes style, education, architecture, politics, built environments, etc. Most people think I'm Canadian, if that says something about me as an American.

PHILOSOPHY

I put on my shoes and decided to explore the "unknown", and challenge the way I lived life by being exposed to new ways of life.
