CURRENT MISSION

Explore and experience life and all it has to offer in an adventurous, creative and meaningful way.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20 year old college student currently living in London, pursuing my educational, experiential and nomadic pursuits. I spend my days wandering the streets, climbing trees, observing society, attempting to escape society, surrounding myself with interesting people, sewing, writing letters, photographing with my various 35 mm/medium format cameras, working on continual art projects, and attempting to find a place in the world and understand my relationship to it.

I'm a very positive, outgoing and open-minded person. I love having fun, partying, being around people, making new friends, or just sharing a conversation with a stranger. I'm always up for a new experience, and enjoy all things spontaneous!

PHILOSOPHY

Very briefly:

All things are connected in a symbiotic, simultaneous way.
Life is transient, strange, and very beautiful.

The truest self is the intuition, and we should trust ourselves when it speaks to us.

We humans should not see ourselves superior to all other life forms. Rather, we are equals within an intricate system of living and non-living things, and because of this, ought to live with respect and sensitivity to the living world of which we are a part.

' “Is” comes from the Aryan root, as, to breathe. The English “not” equals the Sanskrit na, which may come from the root na, to be lost, to perish. “Be” is from bhu, to grow.' --Charles Olson
