About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cruising around Europe with zero plans

ABOUT ME

Spend my time making music, surfing, and working whatever jobs come along. In Europe to make new connections with different people and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Well that's a hard one, but lately i've been reading Alan Watts- and a lot of what he's had to say has struck a chord with me.
Been watching documentaries by Alain De Botton- really digging them.
Comedians Bill Hicks and Steve Hughes are some of my favorite philosophers
