About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To gain new perspectives, insights, and awareness of myself and others by traveling and sharing.

ABOUT ME

I love gaining new perspectives, whether by hiking to new peaks or through conversations, especially about cultures. The outdoors interest me and I'm game for beaching, biking, hiking, body surfing in big waves, and more. I've completed the most recent Ironman Wisconsin. I've enjoyed a month in Thailand, a month in Costa Rica, a month twice in South America, two months in the Southern Caribbean (St. Vincent and the Grenadines), 3 weeks in Anguilla, along with traveling in the United States. I also have a personal trainer fitness certification.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all one. There is enough. We can learn incredible aspects about others and ourselves by traveling.
