CURRENT MISSION

traveling by bicycle across the USA

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Belgium, Benin, Norway, South Africa, and the United States. I love to travel and think the best way to travel is by staying with locals. I've traveled many times throughout Europe, and spent some time in southeast Asia and Turkey. Now I'm finally going to explore the United States - traveling from Virginia to California by bicycle with my boyfriend.
I studied Persian literature at UVA and I'm a dancer. When we arrive in California, I'll be studying dance and performing. Someday I'll go back to school for my PhD but for now I'm exploring... :)

PHILOSOPHY

Love always.

I spent a month at a Sufi dergah in Turkey, whirling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Dance - salsa/bachata/merengue, modern dance, house, caporales. Sufi poetry. I'd love to learn more languages and discover more music.
