CURRENT MISSION

Being...

ABOUT ME

I'm living out my youth through having fun and doing what makes me happy which primarily consists of: cultural/intellectual exchange, live music, music in general, taking photos, sharing good food/drinks/conversation with old and new friends, dance parties...and traveling, of course. I'm not much of a backpacker these days, I'd rather get to know a place before I leave it. I've been to the South of France more times than I can count on my fingers and consider it my home-away-from-home. I teach in a french language immersion school in New York, so I spend a lot of time keeping up with my french.

Spontaneity is a trait I hope I never lose.

I always jump at the chance to show someone my own version of the place I love.

I'm very passionate about photography (that's what I went to school for).

PHILOSOPHY

spread love, eat pancakes
