About Me

Travel, learn, and explore.

ABOUT ME

I love learning new things, and sharing my experiences with others. I love swapping stories about travelling and seeing new places, and showing others around the places where I'm at. I also love to cook.

Live. Love. Be Happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to be a huge movie buff. Now though, I mainly get down with superhero movies and the occasional documentary.

I try to hit as many concerts as I can, and did EDC, Camp Bisco, and Burning Man this past summer. I love the Crystal Method, Aesop Rock, KMFDM, and Two Galants, among many others.

I like reading. My mother is a librarian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 5 months living in rural Patagonia. Also, I've been a firefighter, a raft guide, and I used to bartend by Capitol Hill in DC, where I'd occasionally make martinis for congressmen and senators.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty spectacular cook, if I do say so myself, and I love teaching others. I also know a fair amount about beer, and I'm a Burner, so if you have questions about Burning Man, don't be afraid to ask.

Countries I’ve Lived In
