CURRENT MISSION

Watching as many sunrises as possible all over the world.

ABOUT ME

If you had all the time and money in the world, what would you do?

I asked myself this question a few months ago and the only thing I could think of is how I wanted to see as many sunrises all over the world as possible. Document them, document my journey, the people I meet, their philosophies on life.

So here I am. I freshly quit my corporate job to live my dream. I'm a graphic designer by trade and a health coach by night starting my dream journey called the Sunrise Project (http://sunriseproject.co/), which I think is a pretty accurate description of me. I love being around nature, meeting new people and learning about their stories.

I'm passionate about the development of human potential and have an active spiritual practice. If that sounds too series for you, no worries! I'm usually found laughing and dancing awkwardly in the most inappropriate moments.

PHILOSOPHY

My goal in life is to learn as much as possible. To do that, I'm always working on keeping an open mind, and seeing the good in all situations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ayahuasca by the beaches in Costa Rica with Secoyan elders.

Teach, Learn, Share

So much.

What I hope to learn is another way of living. People's fears and desires. Their opinion and perspectives on life.

What I hope to share my perspective on life. As a health coach, I can share recipes, or my favorite ingredients that I take with me everywhere, tips, etc. I also love a good conversation :)
