  • Description

    I've realized travel is something that nourishes my soul. I love seeing different cultures, trying different foods, and meeting new people. I love walking in the streets, admiring the different architecture, and learning the history of the people who have lived in the region. It is the best way I can experience my limited time here on earth.

    I worked as a pharmacist for 10 years. I went to pharmacy school because I was fascinated with the human body and the regulatory systems that keep us healthy. However, the current health care system in the US is broken. There is too much reliance on pharmaceutical intervention and not enough focus on holistic healing. The human body is a phenomenal system that is capable of miracles. I think it's important to rediscover a lot of lost wisdom when it comes to mental, physical, and spiritual health.

    I believe that when one travels, they realize there is more to the story of our shared humanity. One can start to see the whole fabric of humankind and see how we are all connected. We begin to remember the self-evident truths. We realize that the greatest experiences come from human interaction not consumerism. My vision is to explore as many different cultures as I can to learn from them and share my knowledge with others to create a more unified world.

    My dream is to one day open a spiritual retreat center that helps people regulate their nervous system, eat healthy and nourishing food from the land, and participate in wellness activities that nourish the mind, body, and soul.
