You could say I'm a seeker - that would explain the time I've spent living in communities, a lot of my reading choices, and the fact that I didn't want to settle for being a web designer, even though it has paid the bills and has given me a lot of freedom. I'm enjoying working with some Landscape Architects now, but still want to get away from the computer and maybe work with my hands, with wood, with art or on the land.

I try to be pretty down to earth. I've been through the extreme alternative scene of all raw diets and blaming the system for everything and now I think I'm a bit more open minded and relaxed about it all... and open to all points of view.

I take more of a Taoist approach these days of living in the moment, enjoying it, worrying less - after all, this moment is the only one we have! :)
