Animals
Animals are one of the most incredible creatures we are lucky enough to be witness to. I love all animals and try to find my way to interact with them wherever I am.

Travel
In my opinion, the ability to travel is one of the greatest privileges any person can have. To be able to step into different cultures, taste completely different foods, be witness to different traditions and languages allows a human to come in closer contact to the idea that we are all so similar but are allowed and must see the world with different lenses only leading to the greatest amount of compassion which is much needed in humanity. I gift myself trips of travel whenever possible. I crave it. I need it. I embrace it. I learn from it. I humble myself for it.
The Outdoors
I absolutely love being outside and in nature. I've been on incredible hikes here in LA and have gotten the chance to hike in some of our beautiful national parks.
I think being able to smell fresh air, climb to beautiful peaks, see wild animals in their natural habitat and see sights that are awe inspiring is an incredible blessing that for years I took for granted.
