I’m the creator of the Substack newsletter An Adventurous Life.

I lived abroad for years - mostly in Nepal, Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom. I fell in love with the outdoors as a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural Nepal, where my first multi-day hike was over the Throng La Pass at 17,769 feet.

While in Italy, I got my master’s in international economics and strategic studies (the study of politics and the use of force in international relations).

I’ve been evacuated from a hike by the Icelandic Red Cross, surfed in New Hampshire in the winter, and in 2020 roadtripped 4,000 miles solo across the United States.

I’m based in San Diego, CA and have been published in Business Insider.
