About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding balance in work and play

ABOUT ME

I'm a semi-hippie who just moved to Boston, looking for ways to sustain myself (work, etc) and in the meantime gardening and biking and cooking. I did a lot of travelling a few years ago when I had a dedicated travel partner, but grew tired of the constant motion and have tried to settle into a place a bit more. That is going well, but a wanderlust is beginning to set in again, and so I seek to have my feet carry me to the horizons of human experience.

If you need a couch to crash on, we have a futon and a couch that is ever-so-slightly-too-short. You know, in case you enjoy sleeping all scrunched up.

PHILOSOPHY

Perception is mainly a top-down process, and so what we see is generally what we believe we will see. Also, human beings have incredible potential for good. Working on it.
