ABOUT ME
I moved to Washington DC in 2011 for a job after spending 2 amazing years in Australia, Singapore and Nepal. I was studying, working, and researching. In Nepal I studied the psycho-therapeutic role of the Lama (Tibetan spiritual leader)
I'm independent, imaginative, eclectic and spontaneous but I'm initially shy.
It's my goal to visit 50 territories before I have to renew my passport in 2016.
PHILOSOPHY
le nuit porte conseil.
and maintain liminality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
it's cliche but the amazing people i was with during my travels.
Teach, Learn, Share
i feel like everything I'd like to teach is what i need to learn the most.
I'd like to be able to teach everyone what I think is the most practical skill: to let go, let life happen. but I'd also love to be able to learn this as well.
