CURRENT MISSION

To learn about food, wellness, and life all around the world

ABOUT ME

Aloha! I am an educator and an adventurer. Always connecting with people and learning from others about life and the world, I am excited to share space with new like-minded folks. I enjoy being active and am passionate about nutrition and wellness. Boardgames and crafts are fun almost anytime, and silliness is welcome in my space.

When traveling I appreciate history, architecture, art, food, and culture and am happy to have a host show me their favorite things about their city. When hosting I love hearing about other adventures and seeing the world through their eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for others. Community is the most important aspect of my life. I like sharing experiences and contributing positivity to the world. This is what makes life worth living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Even though I have skydived and seen some of the most beautiful faces of the world, I think the most amazing thing I have seen is watch someone complete his/her first marathon or triathlon. Seeing accomplishment, humility and pride in a person's face is truly gorgeous.
