Personal Details:
I live for new adventures. You know that tingling anxious sensation you feel just as you know you are about to experience something for the first time - where all you can do is just let go, this very moment and give yourself completely to NOW. Life is a collection of these experiences, and the only limits are the illusions that rule you. Your creative mind is the magic wand that lets you come to all the conclusions that you desire. Now, is the time.
