One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Varanasi, India I lived for a week in Baba Kinaram Ashram, the global headquarters and main pilgrimage site of the Aghori Sadhus, who are widely known in the media as the radical hindu sect who, in addition to giving up their worldly possessions and family ties, practice their faith in radical ways such as eating dead bodies, having sex with dead bodies, and contorting their penis in crazy ways. I didn't witness any of these rituals in person, but my stay was still filled with memorable experiences and fascinating conversation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer great long-form conversation while sharing the ideas that I've picked up over the years. I am very contemplative by nature, and if you like talking about the "big questions" I think we'll have a great time. Or else, I'm sure we can swap travel stories for hours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you, I can share my opinions and my life's stories.
