ABOUT ME

I want to set foot upon a mangrove one day.
I've been sheltered for almost all my life and so I have left the hallowed groves of erudition for one cycle of the seasons. Can't drive, learning how to bike, so going on foot across land, sea, and sky. Hope to meet you--
Working on a documentary project, so I hope you don't mind some impromptu interview.
('I' should be used more sparely.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

New year's fireworks in Berlin
Camped out in the Sahara and get squashed in various medinas (Rabat's I liked the most),
Impromptu trip to Montreal,
Crossed the Strait of Gilbrater,
Saw Gaudi,
Hiked up to temples in South Korea, double rainbows after the mists of its painted mountains,
Vernal falls in Yosemite,
Godfog in Vermont monastery,
Kathmandu,
Fell off a pier in Bristol,
Grunewald
The dinosaurs at abandoned treptower
