CURRENT MISSION

Learn Spanish, meet people, climb, swim, dive and hike. Learn about myself, others and the world. Be uncomfortable and far away.

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded and laid back person from North Carolina. I fell in love with traveling at a young age and it's one of the few things that has and will never get old. I am blessed with a supportive family and a comfortable place to go home to. I am a music journalist at home and a writer everywhere. I play guitar and love meeting musicians and thinkers from all parts of the globe.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave religion. Continue in spirit.

The power of dreams and good poetry

Tolerance and mindfulness
