CURRENT MISSION

“Not I - not anyone else, can travel that road for you. You must travel it for yourself.”

ABOUT ME

I love learning, reading, camping, backpacking, kayaking, soccer, cycling, knitting, sewing, and traveling. I enjoy baking and drinking tea.

I am intrigued by unconventionally shaped rooms and people who communicate a lot but say very little.

PHILOSOPHY

Cultural relativist. I want to live on less than I do now, and I want to contribute more than I have in all my days prior to this. I like Yoko Ono's philosophy: Say nothing negative about anyone for three days, then forty-five days, then three months, and see how everything changes.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Traveled to Nkhotkota, Malawi, which was a blast. I hike in the Rocky Mountains a lot and it is beautiful every time.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Can teach you: knitting? I will have to think more on this.

Would love to learn: How to cook different national dishes, quilting, better French, backwoods tips and tricks, how to play a 12-string guitar, gardening, and anything you can think to teach me.
