CURRENT MISSION

Learn from interesting people from around the world, discover new cultures, spread positive vibes, learn to follow my heart

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going guy, interested in most everything & trying to contribute some positive energy to the world. I believe that travel, laughter and sharing can be potent antidotes to social problems. I believe in eating slowly and savoring ones company and conversation as much as ones food & drink, and that exercising creativity and imagination is critical to a healthy existence. I love to cook, travel, hike, explore new locations, chill and converse, and I'm always seeking new creative avenues and inspired people!

At the moment I'm studying sustainability science (transdisciplinary studies) in Lund, Sweden. I also work as an part-time consultant for an energy efficiency/renewable energy firm, and am trying to develop a business plan or two, one of which is a truffle-hazelnut-strawberry farm. mmmmmm...

PHILOSOPHY

Be humble, curious, open-minded, open-hearted, adventurous, generous, laugh a lot, and don't be afraid to try new foods & drinks!

Teach, Learn, Share

There are few topics that don't interest me, so I look forward to learning from you about whatever it is that interests you!

As for me... i know a little bit about a lot of things, and a lot about a couple of things. A few of my main passions are plants, photography, herbal medicine, gardening/farming, and travel. I also know a bit about fermentation (kefir, yogurt, kombucha, mead, wine, etc), cooking, nutrition, psychoactives & neuroscience, guitar & music, tea (especially japanese), spinning poi/fire, juggling, slacklining, rock climbing, snowboarding, massage, beer and yoga. I don't know much about sports, politics, or pop-culture... but i can usually pretend :)
