About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Now I know the secret of making the best persons; It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. -Walt Whitman

ABOUT ME

Just started art school in Oakland California after a year-off. During my time off I lived in London with my bro. Worked in Hawaii on a yoga retreat, with amazing people, and the magically energy that the island has to offer. An incredible life changing place which I plan to, and will be returing to as often as possilbe. During my time off I also hiked the Appalachian Trail on the East coast. Backpacking in the woods for 4 months, through 14 states, 2100 miles, and over countless mountains. I loved it rain or shine. It reaffirmed my belief in humankind and reshaped the way I look at the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

emergency water purifying. don't have clean water to drink? out in the woods, natural dessaster, etc. put 2 drops of household bleach per liter of water, shake, and wait 15 minutes. your all set to drink, may taste a bit funny, but it's safe, although i wouldn't recommend for long periods of time.
