About Me

ABOUT ME

Last time I was filling out this bracket I said I traveled a lot and that I'm staying in Iceland. I'm not at the moment, I'm in Perú again, learning traditional ways of ancestral medicine. I'll carry my knowledge and inspirations back to Iceland in March, until then I'm here in Huanchaco. I'll be building a sweatlodge here and close to Kuelap very soon.

PHILOSOPHY

I am more and more inclined over the years to minimize negative traces I leave in lives of others. Minimize the damage I do by consuming. I started with helping create a small fair trade company. Then, just recently I started cleansing my clothing. I was a sneakerhead, always blowing through a salary to buy new shoes and affordable fashion items. Since I've been in fair-trade business before I started seeking same quality in other areas of consumption. This lead me to buying clothes almost exclusively from small Polish companies, thus guaranteeing fair wages, healthcare and such. I believe in the good that we can make by spending our cash responsibly. There is a smart way to consume - voting with your money. That's what I'd like to excel in.
