About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be as fascinating as possible.

ABOUT ME

travel builds character.
and i intend on being a man character!

I cycle, climb rocks, practice muay thai, dance and cook. often.
and i will sing when no one can hear me.

i love my job, so when i'm not doing the above activities or travelling, I am working.

i am a secular humanist with a buddhist cultural perspective. Kurt Vonnegut is up in heaven right now.

my favorite meat is pork.

I love where i am, and where i'm going (not sure where yet, but it doesn't matter)
i think it best my profile is succinct.

PHILOSOPHY

I've been traveling all my life, and I dont intend on stopping.
I trust people.

Music, Movies, and Books

i listen to generic indy/hiphop hipster music. mostly on public radio.
my playlist consist mostly of nerdy podcasts instead of music. Radiolab, stuff you should know and This American Life anyone?

i like to think myself a movie nerd, but have been outclassed on many occasions. 6 degrees of separation and before sunrise remains two of my favorite movies. but i'm a sucker for suspension of belief movies too.

two most recent works of fiction that i've read: time travelers wife and murakamis norwegian wood. enjoyed both immensely - but i mostly read nerdy books on design and behavioral anthropology/economics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the one thing that currently comes to mind is bungee jumping in Cairns, Australia.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to tie a figure 8 knot, how to throw a roundhouse kick, and how to properly use a chinese cleaver.
I want to learn EVERYTHING.
