About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making an impact in Thailand and wherever I go

ABOUT ME

I love nature, love people, especially children. I also love music and any outdoor activity, especially challenging things like climbing and bamboo river rafting, canoeing, and backpacking. I'm also pretty quiet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with hill tribe people on a mountain in a bamboo hut, cooking over a wood fire and planting rice on a steep mountain in slippery (and sticky) mud.

Teach, Learn, Share

You can ask me what to do in places where people don't use toilet paper in the bathroom, or how to eat almost everything including insects and snakes (especially what is better NOT to eat)
