CURRENT MISSION

To never stop learning, experiencing, enjoying or traveling

ABOUT ME

I am random. I am incapable of stagnation. I enjoy bathroom humor and gourmet cuisine. I pretend I am burly. I am a hoot! I think in pictures. I like me. Some people like me. I find this description of me pretty amusing. I wrote this when I was tired.

PHILOSOPHY

There are so many facets of humanity, and each is equally valid. It is so important that we are able to build bridges to understand each other and respect that our individual way is not the only way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Isn't most everything amazing?

Teach, Learn, Share

I offer my childlike enthusiasm to anyone who will put up with it!

I'll happily show you some wild edibles and medicinals and tell you what to do with them, maybe prepare a meal with them. I'll help anyone practice English and I'll share a homebrew and maybe part of my chocolate stash.

I'd love to learn every and all languages, and hear about your life and home.
