Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading Ishmael.
I loved Dune.
From Magical Realism, some of my favorites are Los Pasos Perdidos and Como Agua Para Chocolate.
I like musica latina (salsa, bachata, merengue, mariachi...). My hips don't lie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled solo for a month around Europe. Restored faith in humanity type mission.

I ran the Boston Marathon as an amateur to fundraise for Boston Medical Center.

I worked at a handcrafted whiskey micro-distillery one summer. That was pretty neat!

I kayaked in Alaska with sea otters, sea lions, and whales. Incredibly thrilling to be in the wilderness with such majestic creatures...

I lived on a sailboat for four months and watched bioluminescence on the bow at night...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know after travels, rest and relaxation is important. I really enjoy quiet time, but am open to conversation and travel advice. I enjoy meeting women, pairs, or families. I can share my knowledge of healthy cooking and eating, living in Costa Rica, working at a zoo, chi running, teaching English, many things...
