CURRENT MISSION

Be kind, live simple, read and volunteer more, explore the world, experience new things and meet interesting people.

ABOUT ME

I am living in Ft Myers, Florida but traveling the U.S. and working from my laptop. I am a strong, bold, adventurous yet open hearted being who is curious about life and spirituality. I love meeting like minded, interesting and vibrant people who love life and traveling. I am happy to hear from open souls who are in the headspace of life change. I love to meet others who, like me, are bravely seeking their own path. I admire the courage to think outside the box, those who leave convention behind and think from an original place. Energy is everything! We create the world around us!

I genuinely love to help others, it’s in my DNA. I volunteered for two years settling Syrian refugees in their new homes in Boston, MA and Portland, ME. It was the most rewarding thing I have ever done.

I feel I am divinely guided and protected as I have survived some pretty terrifying situations abroad. It has not stopped me from traveling. The passion brewing in my soul is stronger than fear. I refuse to let fear control me.

I'm the utmost minimalist and nomad as I have lived in 16 U.S. cities. All of this expansion continues to thrill my mind. I have no attachments to material things and loath the overconsumption lifestyle that is the culture in the U.S. I love animals, I'm obsessed with travel, and have an insatiable curiosity about the world. I am living life to the fullest! I enjoy the unexpected and testing the boundaries of my mind. I love being close to wildlife and the simplicity of nature. When I'm not travelling, the perfect day for me is hiking or sitting in a park reading a book.

PHILOSOPHY
“In the world through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself.”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of amazing things. Isn't life spectacular?!!!!

1) Smoking toad medicine 5-MeO-DMT in Bacalar, Mexico. It is harvested from the venom of the Sonoran Desert Toad. It is almost impossible to describe the experience. As psychonaut Terence McKenna said “what DMT does cannot be downloaded into as low-dimensional a language as English.” But I will try: I was pulled into a white Light, then became the Light and felt a deep profound Love with the Creator, my physical body didn’t exist anymore, only my consciousness and breathing. Then suddenly I heard a big bang and was blown into billions of pieces and only my soul existed. This spiritual transcendence has drastically changed my life and views.

2) Trekking in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see the critically endangered mountain gorillas. Experience of a lifetime!

3) Camped with the Surma, Hamar, and Mursi tribes in Ethiopia’s Lower Omo Valley

4) Let hyenas snatch meat off a stick inches from my face in Harar, Ethiopia

5) Camping in an open air tent beneath a zillion stars with a nomadic Bedouin tribe near Wadi Rum in the southern desert of Jordan. Spectacular!

6) Playing with orangutans in Borneo, Indonesia!

7) Watching a lion pride with 4 cubs eat a giraffe from an open Jeep in Botswana.
