CURRENT MISSION

planning the next adventure while enjoying this one

ABOUT ME

I am a writer, reader, burning man lifer, cat lover, polyglot in training, dreamer, painter, amateur guitarist, student, bartender, dancer, environmental and animal rights advocate, and athlete. My family and friends mean the world to me. I feel blessed to have so many amazing people in my life, and I love traveling in my own city or in places around the world to continue expanding that circle.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone you meet and everything that happens in life offers the opportunity to learn something about the world and about yourself. We all have the ability to create our own reality. The universe takes care of us if we live openly, actively, and honestly. Being present and staying present in any given situation is very important to understanding the times when we might not be getting what we think we want ... because with reflection it is often clear that we got exactly what we needed in that moment.
