CURRENT MISSION

maximizing life experience

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, nature-loving, knowledge-seeking, motorcycle riding, tea drunk, enigma to myself.

I am happiest when riding one of my motorcycles along an open road into the sunset on a 70 degree day.

I have extensive knowledge and training in the tea culture, traditional brewing methods and ceremony. Tea is definitely a spiritual practice to me.

I am a photographer currently building a business in Adventure and Lifestyle.

I have so much passion for so many things... Its hard to contain it all.

Dont let fear delimit you. Be open to the universe and trust it. The greatest wisdom is garnered from those moments when you find yourself lost, overwhelmed, and surrounded by novel and challenging experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed all around Ireland and it was incredible. I can't imagine a better way to see a country.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I bought a one way ticket to India and backpacked alone... it was my first time ever traveling beyond the east coast of the US. Changed my life.

I then bought another one way ticket to India and ended up living there with some locals next to the Ganga for a year.

Skydiving!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I have a RYS 200 hr Yoga Certification in Ashtanga and Hatha yoga which I obtained in Rishikesh, India. A 200 hour certification wasnt enough to make me confident as a teacher, but I could certainly show you some things.

I can introduce you to the magical, spiritual and philosophical world of the Tea culture. I am a bit of a teaist.

I am trying to learn Hindi.

Everyone has a million things to teach. I want to meet everyone and learn them all.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I will always bring good tea.
I can teach yoga.
I can clean.
Take your portrait.
