CURRENT MISSION

rambling in wonder

ABOUT ME

After college I took a few years to travel the world and farm in Italy. Now I'm pursuing a PhD in philosophy, with a focus on issues raised by climate change.

For less generic facets of my personality, you'll just have to meet me!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Watching a troop of langur monkeys run screaming down the road, followed by screeching peacocks bursting from the tall grass, one after the other, and in the end a glimpse of the leopard who caused it all.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I have an awful lot to say about how great WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is and a great deal to say about how awful climate change is.
