i am love, and i am a vagabond, i've lived in jungles in southeast asia, and in the snowy forests of the rocky mountains. I've been traveling the pacific northwest, camping in the woods, foraging food and medicine, learning from the forests and rivers and animals (human and others).

i just finished spending a year around eastern australia and tasmania, connecting with the land, the wild and diverse plant and animal life, connecting with the indigenous humans of the land, and learning to play didgeridoo.

i love to travel and self-educate, share dreams, and experiences, learn and teach. i believe if we can learn to live each other, share and cooperate, then we as a species will survive the mass-destruction that we have begun on earth. we must learn to live in harmony with the millions of other life forms which comprise our biological community. we must learn to love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i love to share my stories, the art, songs, and poetry that i've collected from other travellers and that i've created myself. i love to lend a listening ear to hear what inspires you, what makes you angry, what brings you meaning in life.
