ABOUT ME

I strive to be an open-minded individual and I have a drive for understanding everything, so I am constantly asking deeper, more complex questions. I love traveling (not touristing), and experiencing new things, and sharing those moments where you're reminded of the interconnectedness that we all share.

PHILOSOPHY

Being fully human.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy anything which provokes thought. I am a constant analyzer of my world- I have an analytical mind and an activist heart.
I read a lot. Mainly about issues that matter to me: living simply and saving the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I suppose this is subjective:

But what I think is amazing is that while you're traveling, all of the simple coincidences that seem to happen that often take you off your intended path, but take you somewhere else, to meet someone else, to see something else, to experience something else- that you never intended to happen- but nonetheless, it usually leaves a bigger imprint on you than your original plan would've. I think people who have genuinely traveled know what I mean.

Examples for me include watching the sunset on Mt. McKinley, kayaking in the Osa Peninsula, in addition to meeting all of the unintended network of friends I have around the globe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone doing anything interesting. Living purposefully is pretty interesting to me.
