CURRENT MISSION

I find that life is as magical as you let it be. My mission is finding that magic and beauty.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Alaska, but have since lived in several states in the U.S.A., Belgium, Spain, and have lived on/worked on/traveled on several sail boats. I love exploring new places, meeting new good people, and learn about the world in which we live. Currently I'm satiating my wanderlust by working as an English teaching assistant in a tiny village near Granada, Spain. Tambien, estoy aprendiendo espanol, y mucho sobre la vida y la cultura de espana.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in working everyday to improve the quality of your life, and the lives of the people around you. Follow your joy, and do whatever it is that you need to do to be the best person you can.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have seen the northern lights, a day where the sun never rose, and a day when the sun never set. Once while keeping dawn watch while sailing in the Atlantic I saw the moon set and the sun rise. That same morning I climbed to the top of the main mast, and looked as far as I could and saw nothing but water. Water and our very small-seeming 130 foot sail boat.
