Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Spirit Quest across the United States for the summer.
ABOUT ME
Hey as of late June I will be on a road trip across the country. I feel society is in need of healing so I want to meet cool people around the country and bring people and good ideas together before I start my masters! I'm from CT but setting my location to places I need a couch to crash on. Let's do yoga and dream together then I'll cook you Persian food!
PHILOSOPHY
I practice a lot of yoga and believe a lot of Buddhist teachings. I am also an activist and believe people need to unite to address common issues. How to reconcile these two schools of thought is a challenge.
I do know I am committed to positive growth and surround myself with people i can undertake this journey wtih.
