About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meetin' cool people, being beautiful places, and eatin' tasty food.

ABOUT ME

Im a 23 year old student of life interested in new experiences, food and traveling. I was raised in the Northwest of the United States and have learned to find peace through the beautiful natural environments that surround me. I have 4 sibling who are all brothers, and being the middle child, I consider it my nature to try and understand things from multiple angles.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has the power to search for happiness and help others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled for eight days voluntarily homeless and moneyless to be in solidarity with marginalized populations. It was hard, scary, and a personally unprecedented leap of faith, but well worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have practiced hynosis a little bit. If you're interested in learning how it works, I am happy to explain my understanding. I also have an interest in martial arts and would love to learn or teach.
