I'm a youth worker in San Francisco, part-time adventure travel guide and co-founder of Matador Travel, a website for connecting passionate travelers. Work hard, play hard, learn every day, and try to make a difference. I am what I eat and I eat everything except yogurt. What does that mean?

By exposing young people to the skills, experiences and resources to become change-makers in their community. And… By creating a large community of creative, well traveled, ambitious, and passionate people who are willing to get up from behind their screens and take action. Live to love, love to live.

People who drink Mate and eat papayas with lime. Someone who will teach me a new dance move. People who are dedicated to making a difference. People who will sacrifice in order to do what they love. People who understand what delayed gratification means.

Why do we walk so cautiously through life only to arrive safely at death's door?" Live with love and your heart will navigate the buuullshit.

Too many to list. But favorite places: Cabo Matapalo, CR in a lightening storm, The Masai Mara around a bonfire, in the streets of a Quechua village playing soccer with local kids on my birthday. Oh, and at my boy Al's wedding doing the electric slide!

Family, friends, laughing, traveling, surfing in San Fran, swimming in the bay, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, glow in the dark frisbee with no pants on, papaya and lime juice, beach blanket bonfires, life in the fast lane, love in the slow lane, creativity without judgement, people with unbridled passion, and stepping outside your comfort zone everyday.

English, Spanish and the language of love, but not fluently yet.
