About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I dont take life to seriously, I love to crack jokes and tell stories. My mother and father has always told me that the most important thing in life is to be happy so this is what I always strive for. I believe surrounding yourself with people you love and sharing everything you can is the best way to accomplish this. Money is only important as far as you need it to survive. If my body could handle it I would run around all day long, hiking, walking, running, biking, dancing, horse riding and only stop to sleep. sadly my body doesnt take this abuse too well so I am often nursing an injury. I love cooking, I also love eating. especially weird healthy food, like things I grow or gather out of the wild. I am a sucker for red wine, good cheese, milk chocolate and dark coffee. I try to always be positive, and allow the universe to guild me. I find things seem to have a magical way of working themselves out when you relax and take them in stride. My ideal existence is spending all my time out in nature, I love camping, kayaking, hiking, canoeing, biking, horse riding and any other outdoor activity where I don't require the assistance of a machine. I am also big into wild crafting and almost never leave the woods without something to snack on. Speaking of crafting, I do a bit of that too, right now I am big into painting and wire wrapping jewellery, but I'm always switching up the way I express myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll try anything that isn't extremely dangerous once. I believe life is a fantastic game and I try to get as much out of it as I can. I strongly believe in Karma and try to treat everyone how I would like to be treated. Don't take yourself seriously, no one else doesLive in the moment and you will live forever. I see beauty in everything and see the entire universe as my love. I believe life is a balance of good and bad, you cant appreciate the good without the bad. the deeper sadness digs into you, the more room their is for happiness.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books by Alan Watts, and Deepak Chopra. Fantasy series like the wheel of time. I love childrens, scifi and fantasy movies. I love electronic music, rock, metal and pop but listen to just about anything. I am happy to watch any movie that has a happy ending, tragic endings depress me. some of my favorites in no specific order: Tool, System of a down, Radiohead, Elliott Smith, Lady gaga, Phoenix, Shpongle, Ott, Vibrasphere, Bluetech, Incubus, Jack Johnson, Dragonette, Mother Mother, Metric, Mindless Self Indulgence, Muse, Younger Brother, franz ferdinand, metallica, sublime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked through the jungle before the morning sun has touched the tree tops and swam in the still translucent ocean before most people are even awake on Koh Rong, Cambodia.

Teach, Learn, Share

my favorite thing to teach is about the woods, I plan to build a business on this, so if you're interested in learning about plants, mushrooms and animals I am the person to talk too.
