Greetings! A few things about me. I'm a buddhist chaplain-in-training, I enjoy meditation and prayer practices each day. When I travel, I love to see new monasteries and spiritual places. I am a certified meditation teacher and love to share this with others. I'm finishing up my thesis for a buddhist chaplaincy program right now - finishes in March, 2021. I also love music - Since I started playing guitar when I was 17, I have continued picking up fun instruments along the way. I now also play the native american flute, ukulele, and hand pan. I am no expert on any of these instruments but enjoy playing them. I would be more than happy to share my musical interests through collaboration, small lessons, or jamming out. When I travel, I love to see new land and get outdoors.
