To doubt your ability to get what you long for is like trying to reach east by traveling west.

About Me

I have the spirit of a traveler, the eye of a photographer, the mind of a storyteller, the passion of an artist, and a well-grounded belief in myself that has already carried me a long way in this journey of life... and will continue to do so.

I enjoy travel immensely, where I often write and photograph. I feel compelled to experience various cultures of our world, whether by living in an environment (such as my four years living in London), or by taking long trips to faraway places (such as six weeks living with the Samburu tribe in Kenya).

I have a home in Portland (Oregon), but recently lived in New York City for a year in order to pursue my long-time dream of studying documentary photography at the International Center of Photography. The world has opened wide, and I am a bundle of excitement!
I'm also working with a great company called ForeverGreen . The income that I make from this business helped me to be able to quit my job and go back to school.

My Interests

Love to take photos and engage with the world.

"A vegan in a hummer creates less greenhouse emissions than a meat-eater on a bicycle."

I'd like to meet:


Empowered, self-enabled individuals who seek to deliberately create their life to be everything they want it to be.
Those with an enlightened, heightened, expansive view of the world and the life they exist in.
Vegans & Vegetarians who agree that eating animals is just not the right thing to do, for the animals or for this planet.
People with tales from amazing places, near and far.
