About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to appreciate how others live and to see their homes from their perspective

ABOUT ME

I am a very fortunate person, I work about 7months a year. When I am not working I typically travel. Sometimes I choose a place to volunteer, a wonderful way to learn how people live. Sometimes I travel because it has great diving, paddling, biking or hiking. 1/4 of the year I live in a tent, backpacking in the mountains, so I am accustom to simple way of life. I enjoy a glass of wine occasionally, I like to learn history of a place, I prefer places that are easy to walk around. I am not a nightcluber, but dancing sometimes is good.

PHILOSOPHY

try not to do harm, help your fellow being, simple is good,
