ABOUT ME
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark burn
out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would
rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me is magnificent glow, than
a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of a man is to
live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong
...them. I shall use my time." Jack London
PHILOSOPHY
My actions are like ripples through the universe. I aspire to have these ripples be positive, thought evoking, awakening and enjoyable

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Grew up in Germany, travelling nearly every country in Europe including Morocco in a Volkswagon Bus. My father is a Doctor of Physics, my mother an artist.When I was 19 I backpacked 4 months through Ecuador by myself
I climbed active vulcano Tungurahua in Ecuador. In the Andes, towards the slope into the amazon. The colors and plants are unbelievably vivid. Hummingbirds three times the size in the most brilliants shades. Popping Frogs sounds echo through the mist while the vulcano grumbles, and shakes beneath you. Spewing above. Lava cooling and falling to the ground.
Teach, Learn, Share
Mushrooms (decomposers) break down complex hydrocarbon bonds to digest tough plant matter. Toxic substances such as oil, are also composed of the complex hydrocarbon bonds. Therefore mushrooms are able to clean up highly toxic sites within 16 weeks of innoculation with spores. Edible on top of that. Bon Apetit
