About Me

ABOUT ME
I'm a California-bred, Oslo-based creative with side passions for travel, film photography, and all things food.

CURRENT MISSION

Connect with as many individuals as I possibly can in the time I was given.

ABOUT ME

I completed my Bachelor's at UC San Diego in June of 2015. Since then, I have been spending the first part of my gap year working for a startup in Copenhagen. After leaving Copenhagen in March 2016, I will be traveling (and working remotely) in Thailand, Australia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam and Hong Kong. Couldn't be more excited and more ready to meet inspiring locals and travelers from around the world! :D

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. And never forget anything that makes you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

I don't think I could convey the importance of spontaneity, family, love, and discovery any better than the way Mr. Twain did.
