ABOUT ME

I am cheerful, adventurous, and love meeting people from around the world. My palate is also adventurous and I enjoy trying new vegetarian ethnic cuisines. I love dancing, rainstorms, whimsical people, and I am most happy when everyone is having a good time.

Soy una persona feliz, y me gusta tener aventuras y conocer a nuevos amigos. Me gusta probar nueva comida vegetariana. Me encanta bailar, estar en la lluvia, y las personas jugetones. Soy feliz cuando todos están divirtiendose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in a Buddhist monastery in Bodh Gaya, India

Leading creative writing workshops in communities around the world keeps me awestruck at the creativity within every person!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to teach you Spanish, how to make chiles rellenos or eggplant curry, or to meditate.

I want to learn and practice more languages, learn how to do a good cartwheel, play the drums, draw, and anything else you can teach me!
