About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live. learn. laugh. love. leave a trail of smiles, fond memories & positive impact...

ABOUT ME

I love experiencing the world & everyone in it. Along the way I try to do what I can, for/with whomever I can - as often, fun, hilariously and/or spectacularly as we can. I've lived & traveled abroad but grew up in the Bay Area and still love discovering new wonders & friends around every corner of this amazing area I call home.

Interests

music, sunshine, epiphany, laughter, good stories, landscapes, architecture, exploration/discovery, learning, creativity, visceral sensations, unfolding experience, roadtrips, good company and good conversations, random acts of kindness, senseless acts of beauty, leaving the world better than when I found it
