About Me

CURRENT MISSION Travel to experience music, art and different cultures from around the world. spread love, light, peace and positivity ABOUT ME I'm a cool, calm and collected; vegan, yogi, meditator, creative director, designer, raw vegan chef, boxer, soon pilot and overall creative individual. I'm free-spirited, free-thinker, a-go-with-the flow type of person. Laid back, mellow, clean, and easy to get along with. I like to laugh a lot and just have fun with life. I'm into growing, evolving, sharing experiences, skills and ideas with others. I have a insatiable curiosity. I love meeting people, learning from them, hearing their stories and understanding their ways of life. My passions include, music, art & culture, travel, sustainability, and being close to nature. I've lived in NYC for 10 years working in the music industry. Now I'm cultivating my craft through new and foreign experiences. Remembering to live in the moment, follow bliss and enjoy the journey. It excites me to be completely immersed in new worlds
