Little bit of everything

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most vivid memories I have is from a night 14 years ago during a study abroad in Japan. I went to a firefly festival in the mountains, and it was unbelievable. There were fireflies absolutely everywhere and they had no problems landing on people. Looking out over the rice paddies covered in a swarm of fireflies with the moon bright enough to see the outline of the mountains in the background and a train cutting across the horizon - I will never forget what a beautiful sight that was and how totally present I felt.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If both of our schedules allow I'm down to hang out, but I'm fine doing my own thing - you don't need to entertain me. I'd love to take you out to dinner, grab you a drink, or cook a meal with you!
