About Me

I’m currently on a slow-travel journey from Singapore to Istanbul, moving overland to keep my footprint small. I’ve spent the last few years living in vans and sustainable communities, so I’m very low-maintenance and comfortable with simple living or limited infrastructure. I’m a vegan who enjoys the quiet of a good book, but I’m always up for a board game or a deep discussion on science, AI, and sustainability. My philosophy is simple: la vida son experiencias—life is all about the experiences.
I like to leave a place better than I found it. I’m quite handy with power tools and have experience in gardening and natural construction (adobe and earth), so I’m always happy to help with house projects, tech troubleshooting, or prepping a meal. I’m more of a listener than a storyteller, but I’m traveling to learn from different ways of living before I return to Spain to start a community project.
