Overview
About Me
I just completed my Master's Degree in Social Work and am taking a few months to travel in South America.
ABOUT ME
I am an artist, musician, thinker, and world traveler. I love visiting and immersing myself in new cultures and places. Jack of all trades, I enjoy working with people, collectives, and community centers, as well as farmers and animal rescues. I have worked a lot with animals and plants and am most at home in nature. I have backpacked across the U.S. multiple times with no direction home. Most often I find shelter in nature and enjoy having a dog by my side. For years I carried on my back all that I owned. I also traveled Europe in the same manner for 3 years in the early 2000's.
PHILOSOPHY
Life-ist!
Live today as if its your last, learn as if you will live forever. -Gandhi
