CURRENT MISSION

To connect. To see and experience how humans live all over the world.

ABOUT ME

Creating and expanding community through a nomadic lifestyle. Spontaneous silliness. I'm highly active and love adventures, and moving my body outside. Play and parkour. I frequently go on long bicycling trips and swim for miles in oceans, lakes and rivers. Lately I am into experiencing silence, being in forests and mountains, growing food and exploring alternative communities. Oh and I recently served for 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Zambia. I lived in a small rural village in a mud hut and worked with farmer's on soil conservation and planting trees.

PHILOSOPHY

Doing by Doing. Being by Being. Life-long Learning
