I practice living presently in each moment, appreciating the wonder of being alive and avoiding getting stuck in anger, aversion, or craving; floating like a ball down a mountain stream. I tend to focus on silver linings and view people by their best qualities. I like chocolate and the ocean at night. I feel increasingly at home in nature away from cities, but also appreciate the love and connection shared by all of the wonderful people in my life.

我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
Thought I was going to die twice in a legendary Vietnam-Cambodia adventure featuring masseuses, motorcycles, monkeys, a drunk old kiwi, ancient temples, and very happy special pizza. Also, swimming with whalesharks. Also, bought a truck and camped all through Australia over the course of three months with 17 rotating fellow travelers from around the world. More recently, I quit my job to train as a meditation teacher and launch a global movement with the goal of providing universal access to meditation training, by training one million volunteer peace and compassion teachers around the world.
教学、学习、分享
I am a student and teacher of mindfulness and compassion meditation, and would love to share what I've learned with whoever is interested. I also have some familiarity with technology and play a mean game of table tennis (for a white guy).
我能与房东分享的
I can share each moment with as much presence as I have, connecting through gratitude, peace, love, compassion, and joy.
我的兴趣
I'm also hoping to start learning to play music and engage in more artistic pursuits, opening myself up to creativity. And I love games of all sorts!
