ABOUT ME

In 2015 I moved to Benin, West Africa with the Peace Corps! I recently returned to the USA in August 2017 and am living in Kansas City.

I love people! Photography is my passion so I work on that when I make time....which is not as often as I'd like. What are your passions? I have traveled quite a bit across the United States, SE Asia, and Africa! I would love to hear your travel stories.

I try to be open minded, I enjoy meditating and being in nature. I try to lead a simple life with minimal things. Look forward to meeting you!

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever life takes away from you, let it go...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was fortunate enough to study meditation in Myanmar with a monk at his monastery for two weeks! It was a great experience.

I participated in a Voodoo Scarification ceremony in Benin; it was a BYOR event! (Bring your own razor) I still have the scars.

Watching the sunrise in Pokhara, Nepal over the Annapurna Range is something I’ll never forget !
