About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To leave each place better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

I am so in love with this insane, heartbreakingly beautiful journey life has committed us to.

PHILOSOPHY

I thrive on change, I wake up excited every day because I get to meet a whole new me and explore a whole new world. That's the beauty of time, nothing is the same from one instant to the next, everything is constantly dying and being reborn. But this is, of course, all an illusion. The past is memory and the future is fantasy; the present is what there is and all there is, so I make a point to enjoy it. "Be Here Now" is so much more than the title of a psychedelic book, it's a life-philosophy.

Interests

Adventures, engaging conversation, picture books, urban beautification, general mischievousness, you.

As for my hobbies, I am a vipassana meditator (I sit ~2 hours per day) and I tend to love anything active (rock climbing, hiking, diving)

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Alan Watts or Joseph Campbell, The Ender's Game series, 1984

My music taste is fanatical and fickle; today I am into Bach's Cello Suites and Erik Satie.
