About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take some time off and explore other cultures.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and experience the world through seeing how local people live and if all else fails, what they eat. May be traveling with my husband who does music production, sound and electrical engineering, loves to jam and loves food almost as much as I do.

PHILOSOPHY

Practice empathy and hospitality.
