CURRENT MISSION

Love All, Serve All, & Create No Sorrow

ABOUT ME

My name is Daniel and I am from the rolling hills of Northern California about an hour from San Francisco. I love to travel as I feel it offers a valuable education and it is important to see how people around the world live. I grew up in Western Society where it is 'expected' to go to University and choose a career, marry and settle down. I was not ready to schedule my life out as I need to LIVE and see where my heart takes me. I went to University of British Columbia where I studied Natural Resources Conservation in the Forestry Department, everything was groovy, however I needed some adventure!

I took the last year off (or on?) and traveled around East Africa- a truly humbling experience. Needless to say I have the travel bug. Ready to explore and learn, give and love!

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy yoga and for fun, like to teach it to my friends. I also massage and healing. Fresh organic food is a passion of mine and if you have any questions regarding your own health I've been studying diet and food as medicine.

Would love to grow in my own yoga practice/learn meditation techniques/massage.

Any experienced cooks would be welcome! Nothing like sharing healthy wholesome food.
