About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore, be inspired, get lost and then find my way

ABOUT ME

I am interested in anything creative. I love adventures, good conversations, wine, wiffle ball, games, road trips and especially getting lost.

PHILOSOPHY

In the words of Jimi Hendrix:
"You have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven"
