CURRENT MISSION

Celebrate and live my life

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Seattle, and went to college in Colorado Springs at Colorado College. I love to travel. I have done exchange programs to Japan, traveled by myself in Central America, and traveled with my sister twice in Europe. I'm currently interested in learning Arabic. I went to Syria in 2010 to study at the University of Damascus. I love meeting new people, learning new things, sharing stories, laughs, and herbs.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything on Earth will one day be gone. Life may exist elsewhere in the universe. I try to enjoy the life I have been given, and exercise my ability to appreciate the world. I do not waste energy worrying about sustainability. Nothing is sustainable. Everything that we use now has served another function in its past, and will serve another one day in the future. The universe will recycle its self forever.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Watching a storm roll in across Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. I could see the rain and lightning framed by two enormous volcanoes.

Skiing fresh powder in Colorado. Snow flying in my face, a crisp bluebird day, I felt like I was flying.

Hitchhiking from San Fransisco to Seattle Washington, visiting friends at their schools, talking to vagrants, trusting my life to strangers
