PHILOSOPHY

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

-John Lennon

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking Half Dome in the Yosemite Valley with my family was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn, and share recipes, and I'm a huge fan of learning about local music, especially when concerts are involved!

I'd like to learn a joke each place I travel in a language that's not my own.
