About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If I can see all my friends tonight; Become conversational in Spanish.

ABOUT ME

Making life beautiful in Bangkok.

I believe in a little beauty and magic in life always, but the specific changes.

PHILOSOPHY

Small steps; always be open to love and connection: that means being vulnerable and giving a damn. Be compassionate, always.
