One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked with elephants to collect garbage every morning at an Indian ashram for seva.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't play the guitar, tightrope walk, or juggle torches. But I've travelled to a few places now and love describing my adventures and what I've learned along the way. I can also show people how to drink too much and end up having a really good time! :-)
