One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gosh, I feel like so many things I have seen and done are amazing... well, deciding to travel for eight months on my own and intermittently with family and friends all over the world is a big amazing feat. This trip was so rich and clear in reminding me of the constant sychronicity of the universe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open: mind, heart and soul despite the numerous times I am ripped apart, hurt and feel beaten. I remain open and believing in the beauty and purpose of all people, animals and creatures... it is a great and challenging gift to pick consciousness over sleep walking in this intense world we live in..

I'm always eager to learn languages and teach whatever I can of the languages I know. I also thoroughly enjoy discussing culture, philosophy and creativity.
