CURRENT MISSION

Live life to its full potential! Seek the essence in all things and places

ABOUT ME

A nomad child of the wild. In love with Water in all its phases, but mostly snow! Main drive; laugh, laugh and laugh some more! Oh, and when more serious, i like to do some gardening with a drink, skiing with a torch, yogin' in the moonlight, costume parties on glaciers and foraging wild food in the mountains.
Its really hard for me to pass any opportunity: either for work, travels or engaging projects... so the schedule inevitably fills up pretty quick! I'm working on my 'FOMO' (fear of missing out), to lead a more decent pace of life!
Working hard but laughing the whole way is what makes me happy!

PHILOSOPHY

Common saying;
-'No trust me, i think it'll work!" (there's always hope!)
-'Why say no when you can say yes?'

Interests

Really, I have to say ALL my interests? Fireweed, cariboos, glaciers, yoga, fresh veggies, drawing, going North and remote, sleeping outside all the time, electronic and gypsy music, evocative landscapes, human imagination, fetching water through an ice hole, environmental activism, crackling sound of fire, dancing freely, climbing, playing in waves, learning about indigenous life philosophies and ski mountaineering.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Singing in horizontal rain 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, in Samiland.

Finding myself several times quite exposed to the elements while alpine climbing.

Listen to a Dene Elder speaking about life sitting in the vastness of the Northwest Territories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share skills to survive outside in several climates - while making sure you have a matching costume with the local flora and fauna. I can share some yoga lessons - I am a yoga instructor... but really mostly a lifetime yoga student! Can teach how to pick an hairpin with your pinky toes and how to look like a fool so people around you feel better about themselves.
