About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be guilty of committing random acts of kindness

ABOUT ME

Travel is in my blood i was practically born on a plane! I have itchy feet and they have taken me far. I love learning about, observing and participating in customs and cultures new to me. I like the greener side of life and i hope to leave a positive impression wherever i go.

PHILOSOPHY

Put out goodness, get back goodness!

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many!! Broaden my horizons and I'll share my favorites which span a huge genre. Part of travel is to continue to build my music and book repertoire. I'm from Detroit so music is in my blood and I've been very blessed to see some great acts live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ah man...only 1... can't decide...Antarctica and/or lunch with the Dalai Lama :) both are pretty up there!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an environmentalist, avid hiker and yoga instructor. I've done hikes in over 20 countries...need a tip for a trail...i'll help out where i can. I love mucking around in the kitchen... been cooking vegetarian meals for over 25yrs. I have a green thumb and love playing in the dirt if you need gardening tips.
