About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living consciously. Also, I want to fly in a wingsuit.

ABOUT ME

I like: leaving for some new unknown place, settling into where I'm living, crisp mountain air, writing by candle light from the back corner of a pub, big piles of vegetables, making things with people, relentlessly upbeat concerts (especially if Slavs and trumpets are involved), and I guess a lot of other things.

I dislike: filling out self-descriptions, office lighting.
