CURRENT MISSION

To fly away on wings constructed with the torn pages of my favorite books!

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty laid-back and open-minded. I'm a long-time vegan "foodie". I lean liberal-progressive but don't wholly subscribe to any political party. I'm non-religious and love to read. I'm an enthusiastic film fan--I enjoy foreigns and documentaries most.

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness, gentleness, empathy. Generosity and contentment.
Finding pleasure in little things.

Be infinitely curious!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to several South East Asian countries, while I spent a year teaching in Thailand. Each of them was incredible in its own way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Start with open lines of communication. Don't be afraid to let your host know exactly what you hope to get from them (i.e. just a place to crash, an escort through the town, a meal, and so on).
