About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to climb El Capitan, Yosemite

ABOUT ME

My name is Nicholas. I love love love to travel. I wish that could be my full time occupation. But since I can't I am currently a chemist/teacher(which I do like). I'm a philosopher at heart and love hearing new ideas and meeting new people. Im a musician and have been playing musical instruments since I was a kid. I can sit on my porch all day, or I can hike/climb hang out all day, to me any experience is valuable. And yes, rock climbing, surfing , skating, screaming, laughing, making coffee and beer, gardening, and sleeping are also fun.

PHILOSOPHY

my mind is like a computer. but a crappy computer
