CURRENT MISSION

To learn, share/teach, laugh, dance, sing, paint, read, write, love, and ascend to a higher state of being.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded easy going person. I like to occupy my time by going on long walks/journeys to nowhere in particular discovering hidden treasures along the way. I love preparing sumptuous veggie cuisine, painting, singing, reading, writing, cinema, basically anything that involves artistic expressionism. I also love to tell and hear stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Eleanor Roosevelt so eloquently said, "Everything I do today makes me the person I will become tomorrow." These are my sentiments exactly. Habits can be hard to break, so it is important to form good ones. Remember that life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not changed, it must be accepted. If it is not accepted, it must be changed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked through a rainforest to hike on a glacier in Franz Josef, New Zealand. I also got to swim with over 400 wild dolphins in Kaikoura, New Zealand. Seeing the Rafflesia and the glowing/illuminating fungus in Malaysia was pretty badass too. Swimming in cenotes and swimming with whale sharks and sea turtles in Mexico is up there as well. It's hard to pick just one.
