CURRENT MISSION

Travel, meet everyone, feel the warmth of this world, jump and shout with excitement.

ABOUT ME

I am an outdoorsy, dorky, somewhat quiet, bouncy human being. My life tends to revolve around work, playing with my puppy dog and anything that gets me outside and exploring this grand planet.
I believe in living fully and simply. I strive to be more conscious of the world around me, by living a healthier and sustainable lifestyle. I love sharing what I have and meeting anyone who is up for an adventure or some great conversation.
If you are looking for a place in Santa Fe please note that I no longer live there, I recently moved to Albuquerque.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life as if everything were a miracle.

Teach: I'll show you how to make a grilled cheese sandwich with an iron, how to successfully take unsuccessful jumping pictures or how to not play the banjo.
Learn: How to be a ninja, hitchhike across the universe, how to un-attract mosquitoes, or any words in French.
Share: Some dog hair, food, wonderful conversation, and definitely some enthusiasm. :)
