About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel & learn Spanish & exchange knowledge & cultural experiences. Have fun!

ABOUT ME

Have a passion for getting to know people & sharing incredulous tales! (We all have them.) I enjoy; sitting with friends around a fire as well as visiting small coffee shops & patios. Creating, building & fixing things. Being on, in & around lakes & oceans, forests, caves, etc. Meeting new people, listening to and telling stories. Learning about other cultures, especially, festivals, laughter, art, music, cuisine & travel. Walking and exploring new areas.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat every living being with kindness, every one of us is sacred as is this earth and all the nature in it. Every person has something to share & contribute.
