About Me
ABOUT ME
I am currently traveling with my fiance Katie. We just left our lives in Berkeley, CA for a bit. I have an interest in outdoor immersion, meditation, yoga, cooking, herbs, art, poetry, storytelling, barefoot running, gardening, teaching, languages, ecology, ethnobotany, etc.
I spent a year after high school in Tel-Aviv working with the children of the refugees and foreign immigrants. I helped teach 6th grade and manage an after-school care program and scouts group.
PHILOSOPHY
"Be the change you wish to see in the world"
"Do not go where the road may lead. Go instead, where there is no path and leave a trail."
The world does not belong to man. Man belongs to the world.
