About Me

CURRENT MISSION

bliss and harmony...

ABOUT ME

i'm originally from NYC, but have lived and have roots in several places in the world, so it's hard to say exactly where my home is...for much of the last few years though, i have called the beautiful island of Bali my home, although i'm often off traveling..

in essence, i'm a free spirited individual and truly believe in living in the moment...i try to always be kind to all around me, and very much believe in karma as the basic law of the universe...it's important for me to expand my insight about the workings of nature and humanity...

on a personal level, u can always find me smiling, and i'm very much about enjoying each moment with friends, family, and by myself...i'd say i'm quite adventurous and definitely spiritual, and am delighted to meet new people from all different backgrounds...

PHILOSOPHY

to pursue bliss and kindness for myself and others around me, expand knowledge and insights with the universe, to flow as one with nature...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

every moment that i have spent in the sacred Himalaya mountains and tropical islands of Indonesia, as well as other power places of the world (Israel, Japan, Sri Lanka, Scottish Isles, etc..)...Early morning in various jungles of the world, with the bird songs in perfect harmony and the world waking up to a new day....Essentially whenever the beauty of nature is overwhelming, those are the moments where i feel bliss in my body and soul, and am glad to have been given this beautiful life to experience and appreciate it all...
