CURRENT MISSION

To travel, see the world, meet interesting people

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in discovering wonderful things, and have a passion for knowledge and life. I love things which are beautiful, from the frenentic life of a city to the beautiful serenity of wild and unspoiled nature. I love coffee, art, music, and life in general.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to people and smile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I teach someone something that has a positive impact on their life, it's an amazing experience. As far as amazing things I've seen, not much is able to top a clear view of the night sky from a really isolated location.

Teach, Learn, Share

I might be able to teach about architecture and design, or strategies for creative thinking... I like to think I'm well-read and can usually give good references for things to read based on someone's interest! I can teach guitar-playing as well! I can also help people see things in new ways because the way I like to look at the world - or so I like to think ;)
