About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't be late anymore

ABOUT ME

I spend lots of time meeting new people and making photos and not sharing them as much as I probably should. I love cartography, adrenaline, dabbling, and keep a strange schedule. Pocket dictionaries. Bicycling. Way more books out from the library than I could ever read. too much time underground.

PHILOSOPHY

"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
____
"I like hot, messy, passionate countries that are barely keeping their shit together."
-A.Bourdain

Music, Movies, and Books

From samba to Chopin to hip-hop to folk. I would drive across the country to see Tom Waits play live.

Good storytelling is an essential part of life, regardless the medium.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some about photography, spanish and italian language, writing (?), how to prepare yerba mate and cook an asado like an Argentine, and how to make and bake bread. In conversation I can share my stories and any small wisdoms I might have.

I would love to learn about cooking, sailing, entrepreneurship, carpentry, motorcycle driving and repair, outdoors/camping+hiking skills, new languages, food an, of course, you.

If time permits, I will always make bread for you (please tell me of any dietary restrictions/allergies so you can eat it!).
