I believe in stories shared between humans. I seek to better my ability to amplify the stories that have empowered me so they can empower others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see every opportunity to travel a chance to connect with as well as to contribute to a place and its local people. No travel guide's highlight is as fulfilling as a story told by you, in your voice and words. I can return my gratitude with what money won't buy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm grateful to be alive and able to access the music crafted by Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Traumprinz/DJ Healer, Leafar Legov, and The Supreme Jubilees.

I'd rewatch the following without a second thought — given a time spacious enough for a movie: Babel, The Godfather, 21 Grams, Tree of Life, and Arrival.

Lately I found myself reading non fiction books on the subjects of: wholeness in later life, design thinking, Buddhism — or books by Seth Godin. I have been diverting more time from reading to listening to podcasts such as On Being, and Akimbo.
