Music, Movies, and Books

enjoy grooving to all sorts of music, although my favorite would be singing / dancing along with live tunes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the most amazing things for me are those rare instances when i truly connect with someone, with a group of people, or with the landscape or culture immediately around me. in a special place, a conscious-shifting space or an enchanted moment. sometimes you take photographs, sometimes you write it down, other times you just try to breathe it all in and forget it a second later.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a bit of capoeira, gardening, Spanish, herbalism and cooking. I know a little bit of Portuguese. I want to learn to surf, dance salsa and samba and just generally more about the world.
