CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I have settle in Grand Rapids, Michigan (for now.) I am in the middle of starting a business called The Collective Artspace. We are fresh and new but MAN is it fun. A completely different rush from travelling, but a rush all the same. I moved from Casablanca, Morocco and Maturin Venezuela last year where I was working as an Art/ Social Studies Teacher at an International School. I am a working artist as well. Along with art I have a love of music. I love culture and exploring new things. I love my bike, and good vegetarian(pescetarian) food.

PHILOSOPHY

"seek truth" "just be"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Hungary for a bit and fell in love with Eastern European history. I lived in Taiwan for 4 years, fell in love with nature and abandoned buildings. Scuba Diving in Bali. Cave Climbing in Guatemala. Pygmy Elephants in Borneo. Motorbiking around the Philippines, the list goes on!

Teach, Learn, Share

Enjoy life, everyone has something to give. Take time to learn, to talk and know someone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, and swap travel stories. Preferably doing both at the same time.
