About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel forever, learn, and share light and love

ABOUT ME

Im a violinist, poet, singer, dreamer. a spiritual being living a human existence and constantly striving to grow and challenge myself. I love meeting new people and being out in nature.... sunshine, gardens, magical old cobble stoned city streets, the rain. I love taking it all in because it is experiences that drive me, inspire me, and make my life a gorgeous luminous tapestry.

PHILOSOPHY

kindness, honesty, and simplicity. enjoy and savor the present moment, because that is all we have! and loved ones!

Music, Movies, and Books

Narnia and harry potter forever haha. I love books on art, comparative religion, spirituality, fiction, and fairytales and folklore from around the world. I love films with beautiful cinematography and foreign movies in french or swedish especially.
I love music with soul and heart. gregorian chanting, traditional Indian music ( my father plays sitar and mother is an indian vocalist).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born in the Himalayas, went to boarding school there ( its called Woodstock international) and have traveled from a very young age around the world. People and animals and forests inspire me and I truly believe everyone and every experience is a miracle in some form.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching about health ( im a vegan), yoga, violin and singing lessons and art classes. I love children too and would like to become a Montessoorie school teacher in the near future. I love being out in nature ( I grew up in the countryside of Pennsylvania) and am an avid learner of botany and organic gardening.
Im hoping on working on a few WWoof farms in France this summer.

Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, India, Italy, Nepal, Netherlands, South Africa, Switzerland, United Kingdom
