About me: 
I see life in macro, humans as a joint species with differing cultures and breeds, as a beautiful whole instead of separate parts. I love to travel and document the world i see; I feel best when im somewhere unfamiliar, in a place where every step is a lesson learned. I grew up around san francisco and will always consider it my home, and I appreciate it more every time i return. I believe it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, both in environment and people. I am always ready to try something new in hopes that I may taste a little bit of everything, like eating from the giant tapas plate of life.

"I see life in macro, humans as a joint species with differing cultures and breeds, as a beautiful whole instead of separate parts."

Word. Well said - I'll look forward to catching up with your writing.

I could say that the closest I've ever been to miserable was my short stint in Lima, Peru. Not until recently could I  figure out what was wrong; Sure, I was broke, but making my way in an unknown city was just another challenge. I was working as a teacher, which is both a fulfilling and...

        Living green is the new fashion, and anyone who’s anyone is doing it. It’s the little black dress and the semiformal sport jacket: a must-have for every wardrobe. There are organic beauty supplies, chemical-free cleaners, hormone-free dairy products and energy...
