During my seminars, attendees will envision immersing themselves in different cultures around the world. Through warm & relatable stories, my audience comes to realize how liberating and profound exploring can truly be. My lectures are motivational, encourage critical thinking, and are entertaining. They will always leave you with the desire to go in the world & visit the unknown!
My goal as a public speaker is to get people out their comfort zone and into the world; to get people out of their own way and towards their goals. With pictures and personal anecdotes, I want to share the beauty of our planet and teach about the kindness of strangers.
