ABOUT ME

hmmm,
I am a wannabe creative independent... I'm not sure I'm any of those things though... outspoken free-spirited but kinda shy anyway... Show me you have a good idea and I'll probably listen with child-like awe.
I love misadventuring and meeting as many people in the world as i can to broaden my own information bowl. learn something from everyone. whether in agreement or positive disagreement. Im a pretty open book. try not to judge or have opinions about anyone as those can only limit me. I love to love and love to live.

PHILOSOPHY

If you do not want to be seen, stand in the most obvious spot, but if you do, focus on the subtleties of your expressions of self

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Denver a year ago after a 5 year stint living out of my pack... what a journey. I hitchhiked down through the US along the Pacific coast all the way through Mexico to Guatemala. The people I've met and the places Ive been blown or fluttered into like driftwood. I've traversed about 10,000 miles. hitched on the back of motorcycles on a full moon night across the warm california hills brings warmth to my mind for certain.. since my latin american life education, I've spent real time in Alaska, California, Hawaii, New York, and Toronto all within the same year and got to learn much from each of those places, living and being with those that live and be in those places. Some peoples playgrounds are within their neighborhood, some within their house, some within their kitchen, mine is North America wide. its just different. just mine.

Teach, Learn, Share

i love leather and hula hooping and can share both. cooking is my favorite thing to do for big groups of people. talking story and having a meeting of the universal minds. the old wise meets the young inexperienced and play together.
