CURRENT MISSION

To have as many positive experiences as I can possibly fit into my life. And to be able to reenact man vs wild

ABOUT ME

My friends back home call me a tree hugger. I do love hugging trees, they ground your energy, but I resent the title. I do not like to have a title; I am a person. I like to do stuff, usually outdoors, though I do watch programs/movies. House is my latest obsession, don't judge. I love to travel, I hate cities, I love new experiences, and I love other people who are open and accepting. I love hiking; I don't think I've seen a place unless I've experienced its non-human affiliated constructions.
Other than that... well, I guess I don't really know how to describe myself. Guess you'll just have to meet me!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is meaningless. Life is simply meant to be lived, so do whatever makes you feel that you are living. I live to be happy.
"Happiness and sanity are an impossible combination" Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a kiwi running around a bush. It squealed loudly and then ran around in one big circle around all of my observing friends and right back to its original spot. We were watching it for 15 minutes at least. All this happened on the edge of a beautiful cliff overlooking the ocean at Stewart Island. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to knit... not a pro but I dabble.
I'd love to learn more about farming.
