CURRENT MISSION

Travel, witness, listen & understand

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm travelling Latin America and I'm currently in Colombia. (I'm in Venezuela - have been here for a few months) I was in Mexico and Cuba before here. Ive been having a more immersive experience from settling in places for weeks/months on end in-between making on-the-road adventures. I feel i really connect with a place in this way. The latin culture is amazing and really beautiful to be a part of - very infectious. Latinos are the most warm hearted, friendliest, helpful and accommodating people i have met in all my travels. Right now I'm in Merida and planning a trip with some friends to explore Venezuela. Am looking to meet people for cultural activities, adventures, meditating...maybe a little partying - all would be good though!

I love learning new things, seeing new places and random adventures. I have a passion for scuba diving and underwater photography, love experiencing different cuisines, listening to actual vinyl records, reading inspirational books...

PHILOSOPHY

Never judge anyone until you have walked a mile in their shoes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are too many things that one can write at a time like this...amazing things can be found by just going out and allowing things to happen in a strange and new environment.

Teach, Learn, Share

An entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship.
Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.
