CURRENT MISSION

Traveling

ABOUT ME

I am a young highlander and have been traveling for two and a half years. After completing high school I then headed for Australia. I traveled and worked through every state mainly involved with agriculture and fishing. I saved some cash and set off through south east Asia on an overland journey home. I am currently in Mongolia for a month. I plan to get a Russian visa to continue my journey...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe there is a delicate balance to be sought between humans and the earth. Living in the western highlands and raised on a hill sheep farm taught me the balance between nature and subsistence stock grazing.

Two years in Australia revealed intensive agriculture designed for short term monetary gains with massive detriment to the environment. I hate this shit
