I circumnavigated the globe back in 2011-2012. I got robbed four days into it and after I got over feeling sorry for myself I decided to soldier on despite having lost all of my equipment, documents, etc. It was amazing. No longer encumbered by a heavy bag and lots of gucci gear I didn't need I moved a lot quicker and I realized that ‘he who wishes to travel happily must travel lightly.’

I love playing guitar. I would be happy to teach and learn. I have met many phenomenal players in my travels and each has imparted something of value. I'm getting better at working on my bike Also I teach jewelry-making, yoga, breathing exercises, improv, etc... I worked with children in Germany, Honduras, Nicaragua and Canada so very often I have to break new skills down to their core teachable components.

I can certainly share my love of music and conversation. I clean up, I cook, I garden, etc. In conversation, I listen actively, stare deeply and speak truthfully. I’m strong, competent with tools, and helpful.

Ambidexterity is big for me. I just bought a leftie guitar and have begun the process of learning to mirror what I do on the other side. I've worked with many psychadelics and I'm still down for the occasional trip during my time off. Motorcycles are fun, as is screaming. I don't own a firearm here in the states yet, but I do love shooting. I love America as perhaps only an outsider and hopeful can.
