CURRENT MISSION

finding ways to never say never

ABOUT ME

Having spent the last five years traveling heavily, I've recently moved back to Vienna and might be here for awhile. Studying to be a geospatial intelligence analyst occupies most of my time, but I work as a corporate business analyst (USA) and an au pair (Austria) to pay the bills. Staring at satellite imagery and vectors all day makes me anxious for the next trek... in lieu of actually leaving I'm excited to hear about your hometown!

PHILOSOPHY

"It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle, because when the sun comes up you better start running"

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Once lived in a place where I could wake up early to hike a neighboring "hill", follow it up by teaching four English classes comparing Oromo and American culture, break to play a game of American football and end the day sharing a single plate of food by candle light with an acquired family...

Some others: watching the sunrise on Mt. Sinai, bungee jumping into the Nile, sand tobogganing in Australia, riding the back bowls on Mary Jane, seeing Napoli on the back of a motorcycle at 1 am, waking up at 4:00 to hike the Stairway to Heaven, crossing the unofficial border between Georgia and Azerbaijan to checkout a cave monastery, biking the Prince's Islands...
