CURRENT MISSION

Taking 2020 to travel and explore. I worked in tech in New York and San Francisco for almost 6 years, and found myself getting antsy with the corporate routine. Hope to have some amazing experiences across the globe this year!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

☢️ Toured the inside of an (unfinished) nuclear reactor in Argentina

🌉 Hiked 16 miles across San Francisco’s Cross Town Trail

Teach, Learn, Share

San Francisco is so special for so many reasons. My favorite is urban hiking! SF’s many hills result in winding staircases that connect different neighborhood in special, secret ways that you would never notice on your own. I love to share these stairway walks with anyone who wants!

You can see some examples here:
