Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Currently I'm renovating an old farm house while exploring for my next career move.
ABOUT ME
I love the outdoors. My undergraduate degree is in Wildlife, ecology. So pets are welcome. I love adventure, love to travel, and doing almost anything active. I enjoy people from all walks of life, and thrive on meeting new folks, particularly from other countries. I've traveled to about 10 other countries and look forward to traveling to more as my time and money allow.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe humankind needs to move towards a global community where we all take responsibility for our individual actions both on a local and global level. I see potential in almost everything, and believe that life a continual learning process. I tend to be very progressive, open-minded, not connected to any religion, and hope to leave the world a better place for having been here. Life is a journey and I hope to enjoy and learn from it as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have SCUBA dived in Belize, hiked to Machu Picchu, explored Hawaii, and boated on the Amazon. I love jungles, ancient ruins, and indigenous cultures.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to share information about nature. I am also a health educator and tend to be somewhat active in Community Development. I'm always interested in new ideas for improving communities. I would like to see Columbia adopt an edible landscaping program.
