Some Amazing Things I’ve Done
Skydiving 🪂,
volcano boarding 🌋,
hang gliding,
cliff jumping,
repelling down waterfalls in Ecuador,
visiting hot springs in Costa Rica,
learning how to brush my teeth with my left hand,
and creating a location-independent business.
Personal Philosophy
Listen to your heart and be brave.
If you feel both fear and desire at the same time, that usually means do it ✨

Music
I mostly listen to instrumentals with no or very minimal lyrics.
I find a lot of lyrics overly negative, and I prefer music that feels calm, uplifting, and spacious 🎶
For deep work, I usually use focus music like Brain.fm or Focus at Will. Otherwise, it is usually a simple Pandora station or Spotify playlist. I used to listen to a lot of Spanish music, but not as much lately.
Pandora:
Alina Baraz, Andy McKee, Chill Out, Deva Premal, DSharp, Instrumental Chill, Joe, Kaytranada, Mirabai Ceiba, Nirinjan Kaur, Prema Hara, Reiki, Spa.
Spotify:
Chill Drive, Feel Good Instrumental Morning Mix, Peaceful Bedtime Music, Upbeat Instrumental Workout Mix, Workout Instrumentals.
