ABOUT ME

if you asked some of my closest friends, and those that know me best, they would tell you that i am a very warm, idealistic, personable, and optimistic soul whose mindedness is with compassion & hospitality towards the world around me and whose nomadic wings take me on unforeseeable adventures into unimaginable scenarios (and who tends to "disappear" for years at a time & seems to all of a sudden re-materialise out of thin air). all who know me well would tell you that i am a hands-down, phenomenal cook, that i love to cook for others, and that i'm very passionate about holistic, whole-being health, and nutrition. they would also tell you that i'm deeply inclined towards the spiritual pursuit in this physical life, towards bringing balance & peace to the world around me and supporting & assisting the awakening of others.

Interests

meditation, travel, reading, adventure & exploration, speaking another language, getting lost & figuring it out, hitch-hiking, jumping off of a high places into water, i lived in Sao Paolo, Brazil for one year as a Rotary Club Foreign Exchange Student. these are certainly some of the things that have greatly shaped & added to my outlook in this lifetime, learning to do only things that feel good, quitting my job to learn organic farming, take risks, & saying yes to opportunities and invitations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've taught English in Taiwan without ever taking any kind of preparatory class. i've jumped off of a 70 foot rock into a lake. i've hitch-hiked half way across the US & back (as well as up & down the West Coast). i've lived in Sao Paolo, Brasil and learned Portuguese to the point of thinking & dreaming in Portuguese without taking a single lesson. i dropped out of college at 25 with a GPA of 3.6 when i was headed into a $100,000 a year job, and i am extremely happy because of it- one of the best decisions of this lifetime.
