I like Miyazaki and Wes Anderson films. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and documentaries about the environment and space.

I mostly read rock climbing guides but have a soft spot for poetry like Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, Henry David Thoreau. I like to read books that inspire me to adventure out of my comfort zone: Call of The Wild, The Wild Truth/ Into The Wild, Let My People Go Surfing, The Last Child in the Woods, and Into Thin Air.
