CURRENT MISSION

To live fearlessly and be ever more kind to the people around me

ABOUT ME

I am a happy person who likes adventure and connecting with people! I really like being outdoors, and learning things.

I have more interests than I can sustain at once, so there's always a lot of things I want to do but don't quite have time for.

I am happy to be alive, and to have had my life and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I am doing my best to find harmony with the world around me. I like to learn about myself and the world and people around me, and I put a lot of effort into the things I do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and learning - I don't know what I'm especially qualified to teach! I am very good at English and love discussing language. I love teaching math. I'd love to learn about other languages, history, and I like to learn about technical subjects like computer science or botany. I also like to cook and work with my hands.
