CURRENT MISSION hitchhiking to see the world ABOUT ME I'm a Canadian Californian who grew up in a little hippy town on the coast near San Francisco. I studied languages in university and went on to work in technology and design. More recently I've been traveling to see, well, all the things. I love the outdoors, hiking, rock climbing, just about anything involving the ocean, riding horses, playing with dogs, and trying to speak to cats. PHILOSOPHY As best as I can tell, the universe is a really incredible place. Beyond that, discussions of philosophy are better conducted in person over some good food and drink.
