About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to find and befriend as many inspiring people as possible. I have recently started to get high off humanity and LOVE to talk with new people and discover all the things that others have uncovered in this wonderful world!

ABOUT ME

I am 5' nothin or 160 cm for those of you that live in the rest of the world and suppose I would describe myself as fiery. I love sarcasm and satire and often point out the obvious. I do not take myself too seriously, not very seriously at all in fact, because I realize there are about a million ways to look at everything and if one of them gets a laugh, hey, why not. I am really positive, fairly organized and like to plan. Yeah, I'm a planner. I think just about anything is possible and often have big ideas that don't always go according to plan but always end up happy and, at the very least, entertained in the end.

Interests

I love the outdoors and just about anything you can do out there. Hiking, trekking, rock climbing, snowboarding, water skiing, seriously you name it and I'll most likely be excited.
I like to cook, collaboratively, usually with wine:). I find the process and the results very fun and satisfying.
I love trying new things, be it activities or food or music or... well anything! As I say I am adventurous so I love new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

We'll go with authors and bands because it is a bit more encompassing. Kurt Vonnegut, Jean Paul Sarte, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Chuck Palahnuik, Haruki Murakami, Robert Service, to name a few titles...
-The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
-Franny and Zoe
-The Snows of Kilimanjaro
I love Wes Anderson and all of the movies he has done, Rushmore being my favorite. I don't know that much about films or watch that many movies but love when someone can recommend a good one.
Intouchable and Beasts of the Southern Wild being some recent movies that I have loved!
I listen to mostly Indie rock but a little bit of everything. The morning benders, grizzly bear, the orange juice, frightened rabbit, the mountain goats, coco rosie, the national, television, dinosaur jr., sebadoh and so so so many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have recently done the AnnaPurna Circuit Trek as well as the AnnaPurna Base Camp trek and spent 22 days in the Nepalese Himalayas. I think this was one of the most memorable, beautiful and rewarding experiences I have had in my entire life. The simplicity of almost a month spent walking does not compare to life in civilization, and as far as I am concerned nature always wins.
