ABOUT ME

My goal is to make the air move around me. I´m social, but I also love silence and can share it. I'm curious to see the world through other people's eyes, and I'm willing to lend you mine. I usually find reasons to smile..

PHILOSOPHY

"Just trying to make the air move around me."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A hike down the Grand Canyon in the heat of the summer when the world felt like a pizza oven in full blast. A sublime storm on the Azores Islands that stopped all flight traffic for days & trapped me in an evil mother's house. Midnight trains from Kremenchuk to Kiev and from Thessaloniki to Sofia, both times under a conspicuously full moon. Driving through the morning mist from Perugia to Assisi on my Vespa. Walking under incomparably bright suns in Taos & Halkidiki. Running around Town Lake in downtown Austin in the afternoon heat. Dancing the midnight away in an open-air club under the bridges of the Bosporus. Lying flat on iced-over lakes in Algonquin Park and floating on the Dead Sea. There is more to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could show you how to make Greek coffee and how to play Turkish Tavla. You could teach me how to prepare your favorite dish - it might become mine.
