ABOUT ME

Update: Elicitive conflict transformation as method...my current area of study;)

Nomadic, good sense of humor, open-minded, adventurous, empathetic,I have many interests, but I want to....

...build a earth-bag dome house with a natural grey water purification system and I have the blue print ready:)

....convert a bus into a wonderfully designed caravan and travel the USA visiting State and National Parks, riding bikes, and swimming (in lakes, rivers and oceans).

PHILOSOPHY

We should be responsible for our actions.
We discover ourselves through relationships!
We get up each day, create who we are, relate to others and make choices...
Empathic dialogue has the potential to transform conflicts.
Live in the present.

holistic, contextual, multiple truths, empathetic, sustainable...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2006-2007 I road a motorcycle from Salvador, Brazil to Ushuaia, Argentina, I left the motorcycle in the Atacama Desert, of Chile and hitchhiked to Calama, Chile to take the train to Uyuni, Bolivia, where I headed to Iquitos, Peru by boat and then I took another boat to Manaus, Brazil where I got a bus to Venezuala. I spent 11 months in South America. Many nights were in the comfort of my wonderful tent:)

In 2011 I traveled across Canada with an improv troupe performing in seven of the Canadian Fringe Festivals, retirement homes, comedy & improv clubs, and a school. Near the end of the trip I performed in a Harold (long form improv) with Ryan Stiles at his very own Upfront Theatre in Bellingham, Washington.

I rented an airplane with 2 friends and we flew ourselves from Goshen, Indiana to Key West, Florida and back in 2004.

I traveled across the USA and Canada with an Improv Troupe for 5 months performing in over 75 shows, taking workshops, and watching over 80 performances from many very talented people!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to fly an airplane, how to write and read Korean characters, how to edit digital video and improvisational theater techniques:)

I want to learn French, flamenco guitar strumming, how to sail a boat, and the perspectives of other people!

Stories, laughs, and the rest is to be discovered...
