CURRENT MISSION

To begin filling the pages of my new, sadly empty passport

ABOUT ME

Nomadic.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not really one for quotes, but this one has always stuck with me (it's from "You Shall Know Our Veolicty" by Dave Eggers): "I want others to go out in the world with an idea, with intentions and means, and come back with a story about how their actions affected the world and how they themselves were shaped by the results. I have a belief that such endeavors can change the world, however recklessly, especially when these people go forward and interact, give, solve, change the situations they encounter...There's nothing to be gained from passive observance..."
