CURRENT MISSION

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." - Mahatma Gandhi

I had an existential crisis in the beginning of 2019 that led me to the conclusion that the most revolutionary thing I can do is nothing. In a world of so much doing, practicing being, moving slow and appreciating has become my daily practice. Being content with what is much easier said than done.

ABOUT ME

My passions are the wild places of the world. Whether watching a spider make its web or surfing with dolphins I love to be outside. I love to play, I'm really just a kid in an adult body. Climbing trees is one of my favorite simple activities. I am also putting more time into paragliding again.

PHILOSOPHY

"He who cannot howl, cannot find his pack"- Charles Simic

"It is only by thinking things out as one lives them, and living things out as one thinks them, that a man or society can really be said to think or even live at all."- Patrick Geddes

"Do all the good you can,
by all the means you can,
in all the ways you can,
in all the places you can,
to all the people you can,
as long as ever you can."
-John Wesley

Hanging in hammocks is my definition of luxury ;)
