ABOUT ME

I left my job in Boston in September 2013, and traveled the world with just a small backpack for a year and a half, fulfilling my life dream of traveling long-term.

Since then, I've remained overseas for about 5.5 of the last 6.5 years in total. My last job was between Denver, Colorado and Zug, Switzerland, which I left in April 2019 to see more of the world.

If we are in the same city, I'd love to meet you and talk about our different cultures, experiences and lives if you are available!

PHILOSOPHY
