About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world for one year, meeting like-minded people and gaining new perspectives

ABOUT ME

I used to live to work, and now I'm working to live. I turned my back on 10 years of a corporate career to experience the simple pleasures in life: sunsets in different countries, worldwide cuisines and connecting with interesting people and locals.

PHILOSOPHY

We get one chance at this life and we may as well enjoy every day. Try to live with a "Why Not" attitude...why not try anything once?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Founded my own charity based in Cambodia to provide education to underprivileged children.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to share my story with people - the awakening from a monotone life to one of daily adventures. I want to surround myself with people who are smarter than me; people who have different life experiences, who I can learn from and see gain a different perspective.
