CURRENT MISSION

To travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light.

ABOUT ME
I currently live in the mountains in Telluride, Colorado and essentially revolve my life around playing outdoors and working as a bartender/server to save money to travel during off seasons.

PHILOSOPHY

"The sun never once says to the Earth: you still owe me. Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky"
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life."

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.

The mantra I try to live by is that I am always in the right place, at the right time, with the right people, doing the right things.

Don't worry be happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ultimately I love to learn anything new, or challenging.

My latest venture is creating my own line of environmentally friendly, non toxic products for body care and cleaning products. I've been making everything from lip balm to shampoo to disinfectant cleaning spray, etc.

I am constantly searching for new music, books, and movies to check out and would love to pick peoples brains on all matters.

I can teach people some really yummy recipes or lead a stretchy, relaxing yoga session.

I know some great jokes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendly conversation and adventure.

I am enamored with all things holistic health, the outdoors, different cultures, food and could talk about it all day.

I would love to cook you dinner one night while we share stories about travel and our different lifestyles.
