ABOUT ME

I make friends in my car by singing too loudly with the windows open. I dance with bums on the street. I get excited about politics. I'm a night owl. I like getting into shennanigans. I like walking around cities in the middle of the night.I love the sound of crashing waves and the smell of the ocean. I will try almost anything.I like learning new things. I like discussing any topic in depth.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm learning to listen to what's left unsaid. I'm learning to speak without words. Everyone and everything has something to offer if we only learn how to listen. Listen to individuals as a history and not as person stuck in a moment of time.
