CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Europe (mostly Spain). Figure the rest out when I get there.

ABOUT ME

I love adventures of all shapes and sizes. I'm laid back. I like hiking, biking, and just wandering around. I really enjoy the outdoors. I like children and animals. I enjoy reading and interesting ideas. I'm very nonjudgmental and am nearly impossible to offend.

PHILOSOPHY

Instead of writing an essay here, I'll just include a few quotes that I like.

If there is nothing you can do about it, why get angry. If there is something you can do about it, why get angry. - Buddhist koan

Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right. - Henry Ford

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

It may be remarked in passing that success is an ugly thing. Men are deceived by its false resemblances to merit. - Victor Hugo

Interests

I enjoy going new places and meeting new people. I love the outdoors, you name it, hiking, biking, fishing, camping, canoeing, I love it all. I like going to concerts, festivals and shows. When I'm traveling I love meeting locals, and engaging in the culture. I also really like food :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: First Man in Rome series, Ken Wilber. Are some some favorites. Lately I've also been reading about gardening and permaculture.
Music: I like all kinds of stuff. My favorite bands are Maná and Stuart Davis. I've also been digging Bliss n Eso lately.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like it when people just have random stories that you'd never expect. Like I just found out the new guy at work has killed a hippopotamus with a bow and arrow (that he made himself).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, fun attitude, maybe some gardening advice.

Countries I’ve Visited
