About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trekking across Asia and Australia for the next year to experience new cultures, explore new countries, and meet wonderful new friends.

ABOUT ME

I'm super lucky to have an amazing, diverse, and ever-growing group of friends. They mean the world to me. I hope they would tell you that I've been a loyal, genuine, and giving friend, and that they realize how grateful I am to have them in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

At the end of the day, it all comes down to your impact on the lives of others and on the planet which we share. So make that impact positive, and make it count!

Interests

For me, learning is a life-long endeavor. Whether on the job or on vacation, what grabs my attention is the new, the unknown, the unfamiliar. Which is why I enjoy traveling so much, as it allows me to explore new cultures, languages, and cuisines, and most special of all, the opportunity to make new friends along the way.

I'm a very active person, and am typically balancing my time between family, friends, volunteering, sports, and the multitude of cultural and social events in my hometown of San Francisco.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Top of the list: The hospitality and generosity of complete strangers whom I meet in my travels.
- Waking up and peering out of my tent to see the sublime Andes mountains along the Inca Trail en route to Machu Picchu.
- Diving with sharks in the Caribbean.
- Crossing the alps into Northern Italy. The scenery was breathtaking.
