About Me

I travel to learn, explore, eat, drink and learn about new places in the world. Sometimes I love to wander in a new place without a plan and let the day happen keeping my eyes and ears open. Currently indulging my Artistic itch with Improv Theater, voice classes, guitar.

One of My Philosophies
Take care of your body and gain experience exploring your interest and desires without expectations or intentionally harming anyone

"Live your life in such a way that allows your dreams to breathe" - Rolf Potts

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job and took 15 months to Backpack wherever the wind took me. Did 3 months in Europe, mostly Germany, about 8 months in Southeast Asia, and almost 3 months in Brazil for World Cup!
One day I am going to do it again! Wonder where it will take me

Teach, Learn, Share

I could give advice on destinations which I have traveled. I can also teach basic wine tasting and I know some basic ballroom dance, as well as a little Lindy Hop and East Coast swing. I can cook!

I am open to learn about other travel destinations and really open to learn as much as I can about other people and cultures.
