My interests have largely remained the same over the past several years. I have been traveling all over and examining the many urges and impulses that draw me from one place to another. My greatest joy is still traveling and meeting new people. I just can’t get enough of it. I love the uncharted, sometimes intimidating and always challenging experience of being in places that are foreign to me. And at this point in life, I’ve developed favorite cities and spots on the planet that seem to reel me in over and over such as London, Paris, Chicago, Washington DC and New York City. While I’ve seen many beautiful places and enjoyed the company of many amazing people, there is still no place like home. And I find myself longing to be back in San Francisco from time to time.

My adventures always encompass my education in one way or another. Studying human behavior through the lens of sexuality requires one to have many different experiences and to be open to opportunities that may slip by if one is not paying close enough attention. I’ve found that people are always a bit (or a lot) less inhibited when they’re out of their natural environment and away from the stresses of home and professional lives. Thus, traveling has become central to my ability to actually observe and enjoy the many wonderful lessons that human sexuality has to teach us.

I continue to give my time to organizations that are working to promote sane and sensible attitudes about sex and sexuality. I’ve been attending seminars and workshops about intimacy, fetish and fantasy play, communication and technology. The knowledge that I gain from these pursuits informs my decision-making both personally and professionally. My ongoing journey of self-exploration puts me in a position to be a guide, a mentor and a muse to those who are on their own journeys. I have developed the ability to meet people where they’re at, help them communicate about where they want to be and inspire them to take big leaps and confront fears that bind us all from time to time. 

Fitness

In the past 16 months I’ve worked with personal trainers and have developed a fitness routine that makes me feel centered and energized, not to mention, tone, fit and flexible! I still do yoga regularly while I travel. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 22 years old and recently converted to a strict vegan diet.
