CURRENT MISSION

Being free enough to fly.

ABOUT ME

I love people, trying new things, and cooking. In 2008, I went on a trip to Italy and had the European city sampler. In 2009, I went to India. In 2010, I travelled the really cheap way...became more of a host than a surfer. In 2011, I went on a bike tour for 3 1/2 months in the eastern half of the US. In 2012, I became a certified yoga instructor. In 2013, I taught yoga at a ski lodge in winter and raft guiding in the summer. In 2014, I started the year in Denver and New York briefly then went onward to South America. I biked toured across Ecuador and Peru (some bussing) with my partner. Then, we went on a cross country tour of the US by bike and VW 1981 rabbit pick up! Finally, a place to rest in Spokane, WA! In 2016, I biked toured in Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. In summer of 2017, I moved to Maine. And here I am.

PHILOSOPHY

If one is unhappy, close in from all angles, and change it! I try to be comfortable holding the paradox of constant change.

A more recent one (8/21/14) Allow my old self to die fully without shame guilt or blame so a current present self can be here now.
