pls read the 'serious stuff' in the couch info section on the left. thank you :)

i have backpacked through 29 countries and met tons of good people along the way. i enjoy spending my time outdoors. snowshoeing, back-country hiking and camping, gardening, canoeing, and cycling are favourites. i love all things wildlife and food. my yoga practice is a big part of my life.

i try to live sustainably, using sound environmental practices in everyday life and work. also try to reconcile my guilt from all this air travel i seem to be doing...

i laugh a lot. i love to ride my bike, lie in savasana, and eat.

i like birds.
i think big dumps of snow are awesome.
and i know the difference between your and you're.

PHILOSOPHY

1. free the feet and the mind will follow.

2. be true to your teeth or they'll be false to you. haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walking to my remote bird research site every morning in the belizean rainforest on the ruins of a 2000-yr old limestone road constructed by the mayans.

Teach, Learn, Share
