About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and build as many lasting relationships as i possibly can.

I am a simple person who appreciates conversations, meeting people, seeing the diversity of our planet, storytelling and meaningful experiences across cultures and ladnscapes.

I will not see your place as a free hostel, i will buy my food and cook with you and for you and wash my dishes and clean after myself. I am a super clean person and i will respect your space and expectations.

PHILOSOPHY

I am on an emotional, mental and spiritual journey to understand empathy-- the process of of learning how it feels to be in someone els's shoes. I spend lot of time reflecting on my biases, growth, the human condition, mental health and how to be ok especially in the age of social media and the diminishing authenticity to our relationships and values. I like to enjoy fun moments, have food with people and explore the land and care for one another. My next pla e to visit is Egypt and especially Upper Egypt.
