Baker of bread and pastry.
Traveller, climber.
Animal, lover.
Reader, writer.
Wild, heart.

This world has endless places to see and the stories of it's people are incredible feats of life. Each encounter imprints on memory and enriches my life, long after the place or person has changed. This is the part of travelling that is endlessly enticing, sheer beauty and abundance of life and earth.

兴趣

Is there any better sound than that of bread cracking as it cools?
Any better feeling than reaching the summit after a climb that pulls on your deepest mental and physical strength?
Or the first morning light as you wake in a new land, having arrived in the cloak night.
Opening a book and feeling that rush as the pages fly and the story pulls you in.
That sharpness of mind trying to use words to describe vistas of unspeakable beauty.
Or that same edge of mental acuity that comes with trying to communicate in a foreign tongue.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love most types of music, but have really been loving any type of instrumental, big band, jazz, and sounds of the world-- Ravi Shankar, Miles Davis, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt, Glenn Miller. Also a love for classic rock, and basically anything that came from the 60s and 70s-- Canned Heat, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin.

"I cannot remember the books I have read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me."

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Lived in a one room cabin for a very cold and snowy winter in the far North.

Lived in my car travelling North America, climbing and adventuring, for the better part of 3 years.

Worked a commercial salmon fishing job to better understand options for sustainable food, taking moral responsibility within my omnivore's dilemma.
