CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find balance between traveling and having a place that feels like home to me...

ABOUT ME

I recently finished a dual degree graduate program in Public Administration and Latin American Studies. I'm in the process of moving from Tucson to the Boston area, so unfortunately I can't host at this time, but time permitting I would be happy to meet up with travelers or provide area information.

PHILOSOPHY

"I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any." ~Gandhi

"Everything in moderation, even moderation."

And of course, the quintessential...
"Be the change you wish to see." ~Gandhi
