I'm Mike, living my life as freely and openly as I can. Keen on experiencing new places, meeting new people, trying new foods and learning new skills. I've traveled to 22 countries and have lived in several spots throughout the U.S. - right now I live in Brooklyn, NY. I teach yoga and facilitate Thai bodywork workshops, I write, I "manny", and I work as a brand ambassador for a health beverage. I strive to live a simple life, though NYC sure makes that a challenge! I'm currently in the process of learning the guitar and Spanish. I try my best to see the humor in life. My motto: Every day is a gift. Grow - expand - love - be authentic. ps- my travel blog & Instagram is @thebackroadtourist
