About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I went to school for zoology and philosophy, but I'm also really interested in creative writing and journalism. Will be studying the history and philosophy of science in Utrecht in September 2013.

PHILOSOPHY

Expectations are the devil of enjoyment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Catching spotted owls was pretty amazing when I think back and hiking for a living in the middle of California. So was living in Iceland. But this is a question I think better answered by a person much older than me. I still need some time.
