I live in downtown San Jose. Come visit!

CURRENT MISSION

Live life authentically - share joy and love.

ABOUT ME

I have many hobbies. I like gardening, adventuring, eating, making new friends, and playing games that nurture my inner 8 year-old (while helping raise my 8 year old).

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Life is too short not to enjoy it. (This includes eating sweets - my weakness.)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Ko Tao, Thailand, night dive. Amazing to see the sea creatures light up when you wave your hand in the water.

Salcantay Trail, Peru. Spectacular view of the stars from a point at the base of the mountains, undisturbed by light pollution. Fantastic.
