CURRENT MISSION Learning and evolving as a human. Sharing what I've learned through an incredibly difficult 7 year spiritual, physical and emotional transformation ABOUT ME Still need to update most of this profile, since the pandemic has changed me massively... ---- I'm an artist, board game enthusiast, world traveler, entrepreneur and outdoor adventurer! I am fun, respectful and down to earth. I am equal parts extrovert and introvert, so I'm social, but still require alone time to thrive and feel whole. Also, animals are awesome. PHILOSOPHY I believe that we all create our own intricate lives.. so I try to be extra conscious of what I bring into my mine.
Interested in Art
Fluent in English

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I mountain biked down the Road of Death in Bolivia. It was absolutely terrifying and amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to teach others about self-love & emotional intelligence - how to ride the wave of their emotions without self-destructing. I'm also a multi-media visual artist and multi-instrumentalist. I'd love to share this with anyone who's interested. Pre-pandemic, I used to be amazing at networking and am still great at making positive things happen in my life. I would also love to share this with others.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I have a plethora of stories and anecdotes, and can teach you how to play a card game or two! If we were at my home, I would have about 40 games for you to choose from, but since I am often backpacking, I will only have 1 measly deck of cards ;) I am an artist, and can teach you how to paint, or we can create some music together. I love to walk, run and swim! I'm pretty much an awesome person and am happy to share myself and whatever I have to offer with you! :)
My Interests
These are a few of my favorite things: a good book, spirituality without cliche or pretension, community, loud music, fireplaces, big trees, big smiles, sharing my passion, teaching people about self-love, my instruments, and most importantly: Freedom!
