CURRENT MISSION
To go with the flow!
ABOUT ME
Adventurous, optimistic and easy-going person I love spending time in the great outdoors or drinking a beer in good company. I like to be silly and I make the best out of situations with the help of a good laugh!
After many years of involvement in the environmental movement it's time for me to travel and enjoy what I have been protecting. See you on the road or on the top of a mountain ;)
PHILOSOPHY
-Set your intentions and let the universe decide how you are going to reach it
-Do what is healing to your spirit and without effort, you will bring the world healing in return.
-Create a life that feels good on the inside, not that looks good on the outside.
-Be the change you want to see in the world

Music, Movies, and Books
