ABOUT ME

I Grew up on a homestead in the interior dry belt of BC. Living off grid and out of TV reception I learned to spend my time creatively. In the next valley was a farm community of Hari Krsnas - so I learned some vedic stories and learned to play djembe (African drum) to traditional Sandskirt and Bengali songs and milk cows. I have since studied at university in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I hitch hiked across Canada, riding a freight train through the spiral tunnels in the Rocky Mountains. I spent a year in Australia ; hitch hiking, picking fruit, and diving the reef. I hobo-ed across half the length of Japan with a mandolin and got caught in a freak snow storm on the active volcano Aso San!
In the last couple years I spent 16 months in South America where I bought a small motorcycle and rode it from Colombia to Tierra del Fuego (35 000 km) over the Andes 6 times :)

PHILOSOPHY

Even if reincarnation exists, I still only get to live THIS life once.

There is always two sides to a coin. binary.

I don't believe in coincidence any more, we are all here for a reason. Your DNA has the emotions of your ancestors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been deep underground in coal and copper mines, scuba dived the great barrier reef, rode horses bareback in alpine meadows and played drums all night till dawn at bioregional ecogatherings. I most recently spent 16 months in South America where I rode a small Chinese moto 35 000 km from Colombia south through ecuador, peru, lived and working bolivia for 3 months, then down in chile , argentina, up into uruguay and brasil un poco , and then down to tierra del fuego!
