CURRENT MISSION

See the world. Go everywhere, do everything, and photograph it!

ABOUT ME

I'm a swing dancer. I'm half-Greek and half-Venezuelan. I was born in Canada. I'm a photographer, a linguist, a juggler, a dreamer, a reader, a nerd, a realist, loud, an optimist, happy, apolitical, opinionated, a pessimist, and a blanket-hogger.

Many people define themselves in terms of their jobs. I like what I do, but what really drives me is my biggest hobby - lindy hop. Nothing makes me happier than dancing my butt off until 4 AM. Except waking up and doing it all over again.

I'm also way into photography. Mostly dancing shots, but I recently did my first wedding. It was both terrifying and awesome. My galleries are online, let me know if you'd like to see them.

I am droll, contumacious, and pawky.

PHILOSOPHY

"We need a renaissance of wonder. We need to renew, in our hearts and in our souls, the deathless dream, the eternal poetry, the perennial sense that life is miracle and magic."

教，学，和分享

I would love to teach hosts or surfers how to swing dance!

I'm also happy to give you a crash course in photography.

Third, if your computer is broken, yes, I can fix it. But don't host me just because you want free computer help! :-P
