CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

i'm peripatetic and yet have been eating different variations of the same breakfast for over ten years. i love travel because it teaches me that i'm not a misanthrope. i'm either incredibly lucky or the world is filled with some pretty great people.

Teach, Learn, Share

i've always loved the dylan quote 'but i was so much older then, i'm younger than that now.' it pretty much sums up my approach to learning--the older i get the more i realise i don't know. which i've found to be a pretty good thing.
