About Me

*** Currently living in ASHEVILLE NC
I have not decided if i will host yet, I moved into a tiny studio. Send me a messages regardless

About me, I'm really laid back, down to earth , intuitive, always looking for a good laugh. I have a passion for music, especially anything eclectic. I live to travel ( 60+ countries) I cant sit still for too long without getting the travel bug. Have aspirations to travel the world, experience different cultures and make human connections along the way.

2019 I started to work remotely from different cities. I started off in Denver and had planned for many other places when the pandemic hit. I settled in Asheville NC for now

2023 just returned from Nepal/India

PHILOSOPHY

Make the most of your lifetime and have a positive impact.
