CURRENT MISSION

Im at the humble beginnings of a 2 year mission starting in Europe for a month, then off to Vietnam, then following my nose all the way to India. Im looking for people and communities that use recycling in creative ways.

ABOUT ME

my friends would say that i struggle to say no sometimes, that im too trusting, that i give people the benefit of the doubt, that i provide positive energy to the people and environment around me, that i dont believe in fighting, that i like to play hakisac and go on seemingly arbitrary missions. that i love animals and the great doors, that i respect peoples opinion and believe in finding common ground, that i enjoy a challenge and that i am completely and hopelessly addicted to the djembe.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect the people and environment that surrounds you. Find common ground, and learn from every experience. Relish in the roller coaster ride of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking down a popular road in amsterdam - where the noises of cars and scooters and bicycle bells compete with animated converstions with friends - i observed a father and a son, using only sign language to communicate. i was immediately transported to a moment of quiet amongst the chaos, when i felt the connection between these two individuals . it was strong and endearing.
Bobbing on the edge of a shelf just off the mozambiquan coast, we were met by 4 graceful giants of the sea - WHALE SHARKS - the most humbling experience of my life. these giants made us feel totally alive, and totally in awe of what mother nature can provide.
