Interests

Out of the ordinary experiences grab my attention. Like seeing a wild animal jump out of the forest or having someone let their guard down and be completely sincere about who they are or what they want. I spend my last 20 years traveling and exploring and working in the US. I´ve picked up many job skills, the last one of which is Tree Climbing and Tree Cutting. And I follow natural disasters doing the clean up work afterword. So I have created an engaging lifestyle for myself by helping others after disasters hit. But I also practice being honest and sincere in myself with others. And it creates an atmosphere of excitement around me, by making my life more present and spontanious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had quite a few awestruck moments in my life, but one of the last ones was while staying in a jungle lodge outside of Manaus brazil in the amazon. There they had 2 orphaned howler monkeys that had been abandoned by there mothers and the lodge had been taking care of them. It seemed that the 4 month old female apparently to a liking to me and decided to come and visit with every chance she could. She felt so comfortable she even decided to sleep with me in my hammock which I thought was truly amazing. I don't have children of my own and this was the first time I had experienced what might come close to the unconditional love of a child. This an experience that hit very deep inside me.
