CURRENT MISSION To discover my passions, connect people around the world and discover where my skills best be used. ABOUT ME Right now I am back in Cambodia for the 5th time in the past year and a half. Siem Reap has instantly become my Asian home since I went there for the second time in 2013. I volunteered in Siem Reap for 7 months and worked for travel companies for another 6 months and now I'm enjoying my last time there for awhile before I head to Barcelona to visit one of my best friends. I've been working for 10 years and in 2013, I felt a compulsion to quit my jobs so I can take the time to immerse myself in a different culture and learn about development among many other things. So I volunteered for seven months with an NGO in Cambodia, an organization I did a cross-Cambodia fundraising bicycle ride with in 2010. I took a chance to jump into a new and known environment and it was the the best year of my life. Like many people fell in love with Cambodian people. After my term was done, I've been to Laos, Thailand, Mauritius, Taiwan, Singapore and Indonesia. I'll never forget the kindness and generosity of so many people I've met during my travels, both locals and other travelers. It reminds me to always be generous with other people without expectation and the world will be generous to you. I love food, motorcycles, new experiences, learning people's stories, bringing people together with cooking parties and getting lost on the dance floor with electronic music. PHILOSOPHY To give without expectation. I don't expect anyone to payment back, they can just pay it forward. We move forward as a community, not as an individual.
