About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life in the moment :)

ABOUT ME

Hello!

I am Jane. I am a friendly, respectful individual living in San Francisco and so excited to finally get to travel, meet new people and get some new perspectives to take with me when I return.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live by this great quote from Alan Watts: "The art of living is neither careless drifting on the one hand, nor fearful clinging on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and receptive." Basically, I like to live my life in the moment as much as I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helping the Navajo (Dineh) nation in Black Falls/Tuba City, Arizona in June 2010 rebuild their homes and community after the Bennett Freeze. Incredible experience to connect and help. It was also here I saw so many shooting stars and could even see the Milky Way. Truly beautiful experience.
