About Me

Update as of *June 2018. On the road again.

I grew up in Lancaster, PA (Amish country). It's pretty interesting to live amongst the Amish. It's amazing to me that such an ancient type of lifestyle can be maintained whilst knowing how the modern day world lives, right in front of your eyes. With that being said, Lancaster has grown and changed a lot over the years (especially right now). It has a thriving downtown, where I love to spend time. There are some beautiful nature hikes as well. Change is inevitable, although it’s sad to see that a lot of farms are being sold and more neighborhoods and commercial stores being built.

Speaking of change, lots of change going on in my life right now, positive change. I have lived in Philly for about 3 years now. I've grown and learned a lot here, but it's time to move on for right now. Life happens in stages and in time, so with that, I have been patient with myself in order to make the right changes. At the start of 2018, I quit my job in Advertising Sales. (Breath of fresh air). I was not miserably unhappy at my job, but my head and heart were not in it anymore, which made it difficult to keep up with the job. I was not my best self anymore. I am so happy with the decision I made and have not looked back once with question or regret. With no set plan yet, my next move is to travel Southeast Asia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga has been an evolving part of my life for about 10 years now. This past year, I really have take an interest in learning how to deepen my practice. I plan at some point during my travels to become certified. I have also incorporated a consistent meditation practice. I can share different tips and tricks that have helped me if you're interested!
