About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the intersection between the creation and spread of warmth and inspiration. Also... travel travel travel travel

ABOUT ME

Easygoing American traveling through Asia. Curious about other cultures, art, science, spirituality, music, and probably most of all... food.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness, love, and positivity. Though I'm not a huge karma subscriber, my short time on this nice little planet has inspired me enough to believe in the importance of creating room for serendipity.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most recent genres I've been obsessed with: idm/glitch hop, edm, trip hop, hip hop, female vocalists, RnB, alternative and psychedelic rock.

I'm not as adept at books or movies but I generally go for fantasy and anything that will make me think a little too much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went skydiving over the Great Barrier Reef, met and chatted with a Nobel Prize winner, performed in front of 2,500+ people with friends, created a social circus group that is still thriving in Hanoi

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been lucky enough to learn from some truly talented academics during my 2 year stay in Boston. Get me talking about biology, psychology, design, and technology in general and I'll find it hard to stop.

I've also recently been acquainted with some very talented circus artists and would love to teach you a few tricks if you're keen! I've a few sets of poi, buugeng, hoops, and a toroflux to share. I've also a set of hands and arms... very important gear for handstands!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversationalist, culture sharer, and storyteller.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, Cambodia, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russian Federation, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
