About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore new experiences, cultures and meet interesting people.

ABOUT ME

Mature, down to earth and relaxed. I'm at a point in my life where I know that the most important thing in life is freedom, relationships and new experiences. I love meeting new people and learning about their life experiences, culture and beliefs. I'm a photographer, meditator, vegan and open minded. Meeting genuine, kind, real people is one of the greatest gifts that anyone of us can receive.

PHILOSOPHY

As the seed is, so the fruit will be.
"S.N. Goenka"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I attended a meditation retreat, where I lived like a monk for 10 days. I was isolated form the outside world and meditated for 10 hours of each of those days. It was the most liberating and blissful experience of my life. When your mind is quiet you start to realize the true nature and connection of all things.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning: I'm in the infancy stages of learning Spanish (using the DuoLingo app) hablar español para mí por favor. Pero muy lentamente

Teaching: I can teach you a meditation technique to help quiet your mind.

Sharing: Life experience and what ever is available to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Life experience, cooking together and photography.
(I'm no chef but i'm good at taking direction).
