CURRENT MISSION: I don't really have one at the moment. ••• ABOUT ME: I don't read travel guides because I prefer getting travel tips from friends I make along the way. I like to meet new people, exchange stories about our experiences, and learn things. If I could have a superpower, it would be to know every language fluently. That way, I could appreciate good comedy anywhere. • Introvert with learned extrovert qualities • Love meeting new people • Cooking is my love language • Mostly-solo traveler • Polite and responsible • Always up for adventure ••• PHILOSOPHY: Mutual benefit. Even if this friendship is temporary, let's make the best of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Single-handedly crowdfunded and orchestrated a 2-day, virtual concert with 24 artists from 7 countries. When COVID hit and pulled the plug on all live entertainment events, it lit a spark in me. I wanted to do something to support the business of freelance artists. It was absolutely the craziest thing I've ever done! I went from "I have an idea!" to "Aaand we're live!" in a period of 8 days.
