CURRENT MISSION

Travelling street musician & social Justice digital nomad

ABOUT ME

I caught the travel bug a bit later in life and right now, I can’t stop. I have been petsitting (on Trusted Housesitters) for the last 1.5 years and have 25 5️ reviews. I am really trying to become fluent in Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. I also love playing my sax wherever I am, on the street or at an open mic. For work, I run my own organization called Base Building for Power which trains racial and social justice organizers (www.basebuilding.net)

PHILOSOPHY

Tenants Rights. Workers Rights. Solidarity. Strength in numbers. Speak truth to power.
