CURRENT MISSION

exploring southern Japan

ABOUT ME

I'm restless. I love good books, film, theatre, everything outdoors, spending time with old friends and making new ones. Vegan.

PHILOSOPHY

I love studying philosophy in all its media, though I guard against getting stuck in pedantism. As David Hume wrote, "Be a philosopher; but, amidst all your philosophy, be still a man." Er, or woman.
