CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, and talk to as many different people as I can so I can see that world in different ways.

ABOUT ME

I've been travelling ever since I quit my bike shop job about a year ago. First I rode my bike across the U.S., then I spent about 4 months in Mexico, and now I'm off to Europe! I love to make things, eat, sleep, read, take pictures, drink water and other things, and learn new languages. I am fascinated by different cultures and that's one of the reasons I love languages. I can't help but make things, because when something interests me, I need to explore it fully. I see life as a form of art, and try not to take it too seriously out of respect for it and everything. I love to read and write but I'm a little rusty on the arithmetic side of things. I love to ride bicycles and they've been my primary means of transportation most of my life (my feet being the secondary form). I also am kind of a coffee snob, but it's only because I like coffee, and it's one of those things that seems to develop snobbery. A game, like so many things.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live, explore, have fun, laugh a lot, eat, drink, enjoy wherever you are and whoever you're with. Now's the only moment you'll ever have.
