About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to make what I do count, and enjoy doing it

ABOUT ME

After having grown up in a very urban environment in New York City, I finally discovered my love for the outdoors, for hiking, and for traveling all over looking at cool stuff. I like meeting down to earth people and having real conversations, about real things, not just the superficial stuff.

Right now, I'm between jobs, and have saved up some money to travel to South America, looking to learn Spanish and volunteer for about 5 months, after which I'll probably return to New York and get a real job, trying to support myself.

Interests

Hiking, climbing, good music, ultimate frisbee, exploring new cities, trying new foods, seeing old friends....
