CURRENT MISSION

To be more and need less.

Currently studying how to building community while transitioning our food system to a sustainable food system in Norway of all places aka a Masters of Agroecology.

ABOUT ME
Open minded and honest while being and advocate for the things I believe matter.Ready for a decent chat about deeper things and the bigger picture whenever. I like to get outdoors and share moments with mates and interesting new people.

PHILOSOPHY
To build community and essentially serve others in society. To invest in those people who invest in other people. I wish to make the world a better place with my skills as an change agent and my care for other people.

I often am considering how the world works, asking myself
- Why are things the way that they are?
- How did they come to be this way?
- Do they have to be this way?
- What are the alternatives?
- What are the obstacles?
I find discussions around these questions both interesting and productive

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off a 15m cliff into the warm pristine crystal clear water on a beautiful summer afternoon. Accomplished a 6hr hike of pure Canadian wilderness in just 3hours in the midst of autumn, i have never experienced such peacefulness and tranquility, where there is no sounds.
A continuous Downhill mountain bike ride that lasted 40minutes, it was so fast and for so long that by the end of it I could not uncurl my fingers from the hydraulic brake levers. Breathtaking
5 days of Carnival in Ubatuba Brasil... such an amazing time to experience such great people in an amazing country

Teach, Learn, Share

Due to my engineering background, I have a love for how things work and how they apply to our lives. I can help explain certain things in nature or discuss how problems in society can be overcome with practical solutions.

Also I love to discuss about the politics of the world, psychology of people and how we work and interact.
I am able to teach english as I have finished my teaching english course and would love to exchange with anyone else who knows their spanish too.

If your into mountain biking or want to give it a try going the next step I would love to help out.
