About

A heartsy nomad, Bay-coastal (SF and Chesapeake Bay) and currently building a casa in Baja around a 100 year old cactus. I am creative – playwright, performer, photographer – and momma to a lovely lady and a badass cat.

Home airports

SFO.

My travel style

I have a system called the heart of travel. I love places that have HEART – homey, eco-friendly, artistic, relaxing and rejuvenating, and tasty. I find heart wherever I go because traveling keeps me young at heart!

One thing I can't travel without...

An open mind and open heart.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. A monkey tried to steal my camera at a temple in Kathmandu.

  2. I sailed the Amalfi Coast in a beat up sailboat with a Captain who spoke no english.

  3. I've swam with seal pups in the Sea of Cortez.
