CURRENT MISSION

5-10 year plan: Open a guest house in the Nu (Salween) river valley in western Yunnan province, China! To do this, well I have to learn how to start/run a guest house and learn everything I can about the Nu river valley (all before it gets dammed)

ABOUT ME

I am a small place person. Whether a hole in the wall noodle shop, a moss covered canyon, or a Boreal forest, I am happiest finding a little place of beauty. This does not mean I have an opposition to majestic mountain views or the energy of downtown sky scrapers, but it does mean that I would prefer to be in a whitewater kayak than a ski hill

PHILOSOPHY

waffles are like pancakes with a syrup trap
