About Me

CURRENT MISSION

one step at a time

ABOUT ME

I'd like to say undefinable, as we all are, but mostly unwilling to indulge in a personal explanation about 'who I am'. Meet me and decide for yourself. I'm friendly, so don't worry :)

PHILOSOPHY

If complexity doesn't beat you, paradox will.

~ Tom Robbins

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping on a deserted beach in Albania through a massive electrical storm (amazing in that it was terrifying and exhilerating at the same time)
Hosting my own radio show - 4ZzZ's Eco Radio!
Midnight ocean swimming in Nicaragua
Two months studying Yoga at school on Koh Phangnan in Thailand
