About Me

CURRENT MISSION

follow my heart and intuition
to live happily as a digital nomad

ABOUT ME

I’m a traveler, a digital nomad, entrepreneur, and spiritual person. I consider myself to be a friendly, easygoing, and curious person. I'm currently moving to live in Spain and looking to make new connections around.

In my free time I like to run, practice yoga and meditation, read books, and hike in nature. I also enjoy cooking with friends and generally being in the presence of mindful people. Topics that I enjoy sharing with others include awareness, spirituality, non-violent communication, digital nomadism, permaculture, entrepreneurship, and any other topic that is meaningful for the other person I'm talking with.

(some more info - older profile info) ------

I'm a spontaneous, intelligent and light person.

I really love traveling (backpacking) and I've done so a few times. Looking forward to the next one...

I'm a quiet person when in a big group, but a curious and talkative when in a small company.

I like to meet new people and hear about their points of view and their experiences... I believe every connection in our life has a meaning. and I'm grateful for whatever it is.

PHILOSOPHY

be light and simple; cherish what you have; live here and now
