Overview
About Me
Design, hip-hop dance, photography, architecture, good vibes. I’m a startup founder and designer in San Francisco.
ABOUT ME
Seasoned traveler that still gets second thoughts the night before the trip. I left university when I was 19, started a company in NYC, and then left to do a round-the-world trip at 20 (during 2012–2013). It was awesome.
I now live in San Francisco.
My favorite thing to do when I travel is to take the subway/bus to a random place that nobody goes to and walk around and see what it's like.
PHILOSOPHY
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've got two:
1) The parts of Thailand that nobody goes to (northeast, Isaan region). Real rural life.
2) Hiking Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia on the W trail for five days. A physical but mostly mental struggle and it was incredible.
