About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel for at least three months of every year

ABOUT ME

My interests in renewable energy and sustainablity have led me to lead a lifestyle where I attempt consume as few resources as possible. The one glaring exception to this travel, where my carbon emissions probably equal the weight of the Titanic. But I enjoy it, oh how I enjoy it!

PHILOSOPHY

It's a big world out there, and you are not getting any younger.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love 1950/60's sci-fi, (Stranger in a Strange Land, Fahrenheit 451, 2001). Some favorite authors: T.C. Boyle (Drop City), Ed Abbey (A Fool's Progress, Monkey Wrench Gang), George Orwell (1984), and Ayn Rand (Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

El Camino de Santiago de Compostella pilgrimage in northern Spain. Its an ancient pilgrimage route 750 km long that meanders through ancient villages and shit tons of wheat fields. Very meditative.
