CURRENT MISSION

To live as fully as possible, even when I'm afraid

ABOUT ME

Hello!

I'm an enthusiastic artsy type with a touch of wander lust. When I am not traveling I am cycling about finding live music, comfortable cafes, small bookstores, art shows & openings, making friends with random strangers and playing capoeira ( an afro-brasilian martial art, check-it out!). I love meeting new people, having inappropriately intellectual conversations or just going with the flow and seeing where the day takes me.

I love hosting people. I really enjoy cooking and can never seem to cook for less than 6 since I grew up in a family of big eaters. I'm always living into new experiences.

So far I've only lived here in the States, but I hope to spend significant time living in Bahia, Brasil, somewhere in the Middle East ( Morrocco? Syria? Palestine?) and somewhere in Southern India.
