ABOUT ME

I'm a nomad, artist and adventurer. Lived in Africa, Europe and 5 US states. I'm addicted to traveling, no doubt. Love adventure, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, having fun and learning new things in the process.

Now living in Biarritz, France after traveling the world for many years through the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and South East Asia, mostly via hitchiking, my favorite mode of transportation. Stories, adventures, wow I've got a million to share with you.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Time wasted cannot be refunded. Every moment counts, so I try to make the most of everyday. I live for adventure, new experiences, and enjoying life to the fullest. I love meeting new people and learning from them.

I've also experienced couch surfing from the other side as a traveler. It's been amazing and enriching! I am so grateful for this community of people who have contributed so much to my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

All books by Maya Angelou, Isabel Allende, Herman Hesse and St Exupery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hike alone through Denali National Park in Alaska, coming across countless bears, wolves, and caribou. Surfing 5 meter waves in Hawai. Canyoning in Matacanes, Mexico. Hitchhiking on a mule in North Africa and a sailboat across the Sea of Cortez. Doing a photo documentary on an extremely poor school for Toba indigenous kids in Argentina. Working in an orphanage and organizing fun activities for the kids.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love acro yoga. Do you want to fly? I will teach you!
I can teach you how to surf if the opportunity is there. Otherwise I practice yoga almost everyday and can give you some lessons if you like. I have been doing both for over 10 years now.
If you want to try hitchhiking, let me know. I love introducing people to this incredible form of travel. Requirements: be adventurous, patient, spontaneous, enjoy camping, random adventures and living in the moment.
I am a certified massage therapist. So if you would like a massage, don't hesitate to ask. I love giving (and receiving) massages.

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, United States
