About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a location independent entrepreneur - doing photography, publishing + teaching. I would like to travel and work in Africa, South America again, and Europe. I have visited 31 countries and have enjoyed all the adventures and exploring.

ABOUT ME

I am currently traveling full-time and loving it. I am teaching photography, publishing my magazine Vagabond Travel Mag in the itunes store, and learning meditation in Thailand. I like people and can pantomime in any language. I am no longer shy because of travel and I am respectful of the differences in cultures and try to learn as much as i can - i am now learning how to speak Thai after being the only Westerner in a Buddhist temple for 6 weeks. I do non-profit work with photography and writing and experience new environments by doing work in exchange for room and board

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness is king. Respect and enjoy life! Let your sense of wonder and awe guide you.
