CURRENT MISSION

living every week like a shark week

ABOUT ME

currently travelling as much as possible, taking in new ideas
and perspectives from various cultures and places.
with interest in living a simpler, earth friendly lifestyle,
discovering healthy lifestyle habits
but still not taking life too seriously.
lately i have been working in the yosemite high sierra wilderness for the summer months. then travelling in the winter months.helping build an eco-friendly off grid house called the dacha.
stayed in dhaka city, bangladesh for two months to shoot a folk music documentary, a stint in nepal to hike the annapurna circuit trek in the himalayas and russia to explore family roots and friends.
most recently hit up europe, guzzling some german beer mainly in heidelberg, next amsterdam for a coffee with a hint of switzerland and france.
did some WWOOFing gigs in hawaii and then headed out to australia and new zealand, hiking and camping.
i enjoy music that is made with the purest emotion. also, taking nature photographs to spread awareness of the beauty of nature and it's powers to cure.
living with an enriching lifestyle of vipassana meditation.
