I feel the goal while in this body is to find presence and connection as much as possible, trying to cultivate loving kindness and wisdom in all I do. I feel most comfortable outside of my comfort zone. New places, people, food. Every new challenge becomes a new accomplishment and understanding. I love it all and I try to love a lot!

I have been traveling semipermanently since college in 2015. Spent 8 months traveling around Morocco and Europe on a tandem bicycle. I finished my 4 month Thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2022, lived in New Zealand last year and am working as a reproductive rights advocate in New Hampshire now.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m currently reading “Man and His Symbols” by Karl Jung

Favorite Books: The Alchemist, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Lord of The Rings, Brave New World so many!

My favorite directors are Alfred Hitchcock, Quentin Tarantino, and I find all Wes Anderson's movies adorable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

—Vipassana mediation brings awe and calm to my life. The 10 day silent meditations of SN Goenka are important for me to sit or serve every year.
—Hiking 2,200 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail brought me a closeness and deep relationship to nature.
—Living on a tandem bicycle from 8 months in Morocco and Eastern Europe opens my mind to generosity and brotherhood with mankind deeply.
