CURRENT MISSION

to see, feel and experience as much as i can in this short trip we call life...

ABOUT ME

I am as complex as a '64 pinot noir and as transparent as a plate glass window.

i am a writer, i love to travel and been to over 50 countries, a fitness trainer and have worked in the fashion industry as a financial analyst.

i love the outdoors; biking, rollerblading, hiking, beach, skiing.

i love to read and i am usually in the middle of 3 books at once as well as having to go through my stack of the NY times (thank goodness i only get it on the weekends)

i love coffee and craft beer (i started a beer tasting club). i love to eat and a travel journey is not complete unless some meal in a foreign country wreaks havoc on my western constitution.

music: rock, dance, classical, UK garage
movies: if its black & white, i already like it

there is more...so much more to say!

PHILOSOPHY

I would rather die of thirst than drink from the cup of mediocrity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

swam in the sea above the arctic circle (cold!), jumped in one of the little canals in venice (dirty!)
made love in the crashing waves of tulum (amazing!)
played with a child with dirty clothes and no shoes in morocco (humbling!)
summiting a snow-covered peak in the tatra mountains (exhilirating!)
