I would love to live surrounded by loved ones, grow my own food and live off the grid as much as I can.  That said, I would love to be on Forbes 40 Under 40. This is the first time ever saying this, even considering it as a goal but apparently I am going for it... while living off the grid-Ha!"

Favorite pastimes?
DIY spa days  and gardening, I need to do more of it.

What inspires you?
Beautiful art, food, travel, truth, and nature.

When are you the happiest?
When I am inspired.

Rules to live by?
"When you get it right,  pass it on." -Gary Snyder

What is your favorite music and latest bands?
One of my best friends, Michael Milosh, has several music projects. RHYE being his primary focus now and his earlier work under “Milosh”. More recently he has been doing these epic improvisational performances for Secular Sabbath, an ambient music series curated by my dear friend Genevieve. They are super experimental and magical and his upcoming EP is exquisite.

What are some of your favorite books/audiobooks, and films/shows?
I love everything by Rilke, Osho, Gary Snyder and the films of Maya Deren and Ingmar Bergman alway slay me. I recently just saw a film in the theater called Shoplifters by one of my favorite contemporary filmmakers, Hirokazu Kore-eda and I was super impressed with it.

Japan is one of my favorite places I have ever traveled. I am always thrilled to return. Next on my list are Iceland, Portugal, Kore, and Peru.

What is your favorite hotel/resort to stay in?
La Réserve in Paris. I love staying there for city vibes, the decor is luscious!
And for nature vibes, there is an obscure Onsen in Northern Japan. I can't remember (or pronounce) the name, but I had the pleasure of staying there for a friend's wedding and it is literally my favorite place on earth. Hot springs, forest, mist, it's beyond heavenly.

My secret homemade Chlorella and Ashitaba face masks once a week, drinking plenty of spring water, and going into my infrared sauna  3-4 days a week. 

How do you unwind or de-stress?
Cozy nights of essential oil infused baths followed by a glass of biodynamic wine or chrysanthemum tea sipped fireside (ideally in a cashmere pajama set :)!

Daily tea meditations, adaptogenic potions, organic whole food diet loaded with healthy fats and ferments, and meditation. Spending as much time in nature as possible.
