CURRENT MISSION

Try everything at least once.

ABOUT ME

I'm from a small town in California, where there are more cows than people... I'm currently spending a semester in London, where suddenly I'm the one with an accent.

I can't play the banjo, nor can I fly-fish, but I can play jazz saxaphone, sew a button, discuss theories of neurodevelopment, bake bread from scratch, drive a manual car, climb a mountain, navigate a canyon, tell a story, and make the best barbecue chicken outside of Georgia. I have many interests, and am open to most anything. Mostly, I like to meet interesting people and learn about them, learn about different cultures, and swap stories.

PHILOSOPHY

An unlived life isn't worth examining.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Seen the sun rise from the top of Mt. Shasta while hypothermic--it didn't actually feel that cold... which is one of the signs that you're too cold, I suppose.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love to teach people whatever I know, from cooking Southern food to rock climbing, from how the nervous system develops to how to sing. I am willing to share any and all knowledge that I have
As far as what I want to learn--specifically I want to learn how to wrap a tagelmust or turban, make a great cup of espresso, play a new instrument, and learn a new language.
However, in general, I want to learn about other cultures, see an inside view on another culture. I want to learn interesting skills from interesting people, no matter if they're applicable skills or not.
