CURRENT MISSION

travel wide, but not to hide

ABOUT ME

I am definitely filled with wanderlust and feel the best when I am traveling to new places, truly experiencing new cultures, and meeting new people. I love cooking for other people and creating an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, can be themselves, and have a fantastic time. Right now, I am really interested in learning more about communities and local/sustainable living. I generally just enjoy being with good people and experiencing all life has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, this is a hard one to sum up, so I think I'll use the words of Jim Croce, 'If you dig it, do it, if you really dig it, do it twice.'
