ABOUT ME
Books are meant to be read. Open them. Don't skip over books or people without looking inside.
I'm a dreamer. Going to new places to see natural places, how people live their lives everyday is what makes me happy in life. An open mind is the best way to live life. New cultures, food, drinks, poetry, philosophical nonsense, sports, music, art, movies feed me.
I grew up backpacking/running/biking. I love good company to talk about something I know well or not at all. I can also I can survive alone in the woods, or a in a strange city. I've randomly met and traveled with some pretty cool people. I get in where I fit in.
PHILOSOPHY
"Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions." ~Albert Einstein.

Music, Movies, and Books
1984, Farenheit 451, Vonnegut, Steinbeck, Keroauc, are all favorites! Right now I'm working on The Alchemist, and next, Dead Aid about the problems caused on the African continent because of all the aid money from the west, and how to build local, sustainable economies that creat jobs In Africa. I like big ideas!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, Road tripping across the US, Hiking Inka trail, Snorkeling and kayaking in a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico. Growing up in such a genuinely honest, cool, and beautiful place like Portland, Oregon, US is something I think is amazing!
