About Me

Everything is best accompanied by a degree of levity!

Above all else, I allow my curiosity and strong desire to learn guide me through life. Thus far I have been led on travels over the past 5 years through South America and the United States. For two years I rode a bicycle through 45 states to raise awareness for childhood obesity, creating a non-profit organization and speaking to over 500 schools to inspire youth to actively pursue their dreams. Most recently I worked for a tech company in Venice Beach, California that built online orderings platforms for restaurants. Did I mention I love irony?

My passion is to lead a colorful existence filled with mischievous experiences with new people whom actively seek and challenge ideas. I view traveling as an opportunity to dive into the local music, psychology and philosophy of the people. Intellectually curious by nature, I love observing and understanding the things we do that we don't know we're doing. I have found that learning is the secret to life. The day you stop learning is the day you die.

Continually mindful of my immediate reality. Nothing is permanent, so no reason to pass judgement or preference. If you don't like something just wait for it to change, it always does. And if something can't last forever, it won't. I proceed through my day with the awareness of assisting at every turn because it only takes one kind act to save a life.

Most of all I am a guest of your space, time and energy in every way imaginable and will be as flexible as you need me to be in order to feel comfortable. I am very eager to learn about you, your passions and how we can grow within the small window of time we share. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Trivial facts: I'm vegan by rule (but rules are meant to be broken), meditate daily (sometimes), read a book a week and love being in uncomfortable situations.

Be happy.

Interests

Free will, self-liberation, freedom of speech, keeping my soul.

Music, Movies, and Books

I feel that music and books encompass the true culture of any region of our world. Therefore, I collect and trade these items on my journeys in place of pictures.
