CURRENT MISSION

Watch, listen, learn, do.

ABOUT ME

Usually when I bake cookies I end up with at least one serious burn.

I need to go on really long walks...seriously. My project is to hike across as many countries as possible - so far I've walked across England and I've gone a third of the way across the Pyrenees.

My life partner is an aspiring renaissance man.

PHILOSOPHY

"I love going out of my way, beyond what I know, and finding my way back a few extra miles, by another trail, with a compass that argues with the map…nights alone in motels in remote western towns where I know no one and no one I know knows where I am, nights with strange paintings and floral spreads and cable television that furnish a reprieve from my own biography[...]I have lost myself though I know where I am. Moments when I say to myself as feet or car clear a crest or round a bend, I have never seen this place before."
-Rebecca Solnit "A Field Guide to Getting Lost"

Interests

I like fossicking, reading, eating, painting, printmaking, walking, watching, baking, tasting, drinking, travelling, pottering.
