When I was 20, I spontaneously went on a 4.5 month solo backpacking trip across Australia. I had booked a hostel in Sydney for a week without any plans past that and just went with the flow.
The adventures and people I shared those adventures with along the way were incredible, that I knew then and there that life is a never ending wild ride — as long as you're willing to take risks, live unconventionally and embrace it!
Since then, I've lived in Europe for 4.5 years years, living in different cities in Germany and the Netherlands, while backpacking intensively around the continent. After jump-starting my design career there, I moved to New York City to be in the center of the creative world, then to California to join in the excitement of Silicon Valley, while taking lots of trips to Asia in the process!
Because of remote working due to COVID, I'm currently living in Hawaii, but I'm *mostly* based in NYC.
My biggest motivation comes from growing up in the suburbs, where I was terrified of conformity and living a boring life. As a result, I always took the path less travelled and haven't looked back. Let go of your fears, and the rest will follow!
