CURRENT MISSION

working towards a happy and healthy life without fossil fuels

ABOUT ME

Hmmm. Have moved around a lot, and lubed in a lot of different countries. Back in NZ now after 15 years away and figuring out where i want to live.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be honest with others and myself and to live the best life I can. I want to be involved in helping rather than hindering the world and all its ecology moving to a more balanced and healthy state
