I feel more alive while sitting on a mountain top or in the woods by a creek than anywhere else in the world. I want to explore as much of the world as I can, and find as many serene and wild places as I can.

Thats not to say that I cant enjoy myself in a city with some good friends as well.

I want to have a hobbit hole someday. With Goats. Lots of em.

I don't get cold easily.

I have studied Resource Conservation at the Univeristy of Montana for a few years, and I'm currently studying Environmental Education at Prescott College

I am open minded about all religions, and don't associate myself with any. We are all people, regardless of beliefs. I believe that the most noble thing a person can do is respect the planet and their neighbor. That is perhaps why I am here. Not to make money or to reinvent the wheel...but to roam the beauty I was given in life and to eat other peoples cooking, say it was good, and to laugh with them.

Let's do just that.
