Life has changed so much in the last four years... as I’m sure practically everyone can attest to. I went from my running my own business as a wedding and portrait photographer, to living on a sailboat for a year, to learning how to surrender to life’s flow during the pandemic, to having new direction pursuing enormous dreams despite having no idea how to proceed… but it’s all good. We learn, we grow, we love, and we repeatedly get our hands dirty. Life is good.

Life on the water was once an impossible-seeming adventure, and now is a obsession to bring to fruition. And with this new perspective I hope to continue being an eternal student, full-time traveller, photographer and writer to discover myself and the world around me.

My main philosophy while travelling our globe is to eat well, face fears, be generous, surrender, share stories, love lots, and say yes to interesting opportunities. This philosophy has resulted over the years in my becoming (amongst many other things), a certified yoga instructor, a certified wedding planner, a singing clown, a movie extra, a professional snowflake cookie decorator, a professional photographer, a literary editor, a spiritual seeker, and hopefully, a great friend to some incredibly amazing people.
