About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
To go on as many adventures as possible and live life to the fullest!!!

ABOUT ME:
I'm the type of person who puts on one pant leg at a time. I am super laid-back and easy going and always look at every situation as if the glass is half full. I believe knowledge is power and love exploring and trying new things and meeting people along the way.

I grew up on the ocean and have a huge appreciation for the outdoors and nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- 1) Power hand gliding off a runway where it takes off up to a speed of 90 mph and once it gets up to about 300 feet they turn off the engine in the middle of the ocean.
- 2) The day I forget my passport was expired and I needed to catch a flight to Italy 2 hours later.
- 3) Whitewater rafting 186 miles down the Colorado river, sleeping at random patches of land on the side of river. - 4) Sleeping in a hotel made entirely of ice.
- 5) Sleeping in a Bedouin tent in the middle of the Israeli desert.
- 6) Rappelled down a series of waterfalls.
- 7) Setup camp on the side of a river in the middle of a torrential downpour.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about new cultures that I am not used to... But I also very much enjoy hearing what people are passionate about. If you're into something I want to listen to it, it doesn't matter the topic (unless politics but even then I will still listen).

I can teach you how to play hand percussion instruments, how to cook, how to bake bread, I can teach you about the environment.

I can also teach you how to shuck oysters (as well as the anatomy of said oyster and how to tell if it’s bad). I can teach you about mussels, shrimp, clams, crab, and proper cleaning/ peeling methods.

Fun fact: Eating sushi on a Monday can be dangerous since most fish markets are closed on Sunday, meaning your sushi is probably days old.

Fun fact 2: Eating four oysters a day gives you a complete daily supply of copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc. ZING
