Humanitarian work, exotic travel, throwing myself out of planes, flying my body in wind tunnels, climbing rocks, diving into the ocean (PADI advanced), capturing or creating beautiful pieces of art, moving my hips to the music, sharing a smile, wink or a laugh with a friend. Ultimately, I am interested in absolutely anything and everything that leads to happiness and fulfillment, especially in a non-traditional, non-conformist way.

"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth."
~ Mahatma Gandhi -
Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 - 1948)
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." ~ Jack Kerouac
