CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I spent my early days in Mexico (Mazatlan & Guadalajara) and have lived in the US consistently since age 12, in Seattle, New York City & Boston. I've also road-tripped around the US a whole lot. I recently moved back to Seattle from Sevilla, Spain where I was living for a year. I made it to most of Spain, Portugal, Morocco, France and Andorra while I lived in Sevilla, but I look forward to going back to travel some more.

After visiting friends in Spain, Germany, Denmark and Australia, I'd like to head down to South America and do some itinerary-less traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked at the former World Trade Center in New York City and was one of the many New Yorkers with their mouths wide open that fateful day.

Was literally a victim of highway robbery.

Roadtripped many times around most of the United States.

I love my job.
