CURRENT MISSION

To Open my Eyes to the wonders of the world to reveal the treasures of my Soul

ABOUT ME

I am a young man who has decided to drop everything in his life in order to discover what this world holds. I am planning to tour Central and South America and spend time in the amazon learning from native tribes and ancient cultures. I'm deeply interested in Ayahuasca and this is the main focus of my travels.

I want to learn to surf; swim with the sharks and sting rays; trek through sunshine, rain, sleet, snow, morning and night; sleep in beds, couches, streets and sand dunes; Meditate with a Yogi; Live like a Monk and beg food; Learn a new language, or 10; Participate in a Native ritual or ceremony; Eat a traditional meal with a family from every country I visit; Make friends in every country I visit and find peace within myself; To Learn, To Grow and To Help this World be a better place and help myself be a better person for this World!

PHILOSOPHY

I've recently realized that a life is best lived when serving others and helping people.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music has a special place in my heart. As long as it comes from a depth of true emotion there is no limit to which artists can beautify.

I love classic artists from soul, blues and hip-hop, as well as from reggae and funk. Electronic and classical have there special place as well and there is far too much good music to be able to box them into rankings.

Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Pretty Lights, Janice Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Hendrix. The Beatles, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Roots. Quincy Jones, Roberta Flack, Alabama Shakes and Nujabes. Emancipator, Gramatik, Busty and the Bass, and Fat Freddy's Drop. Glass Animals, Eminem, Aesop Rock, Grieves, Brother Ali and Bob Marley and the entire family he produced. Sublime, BADBADNOTGOOD, GRiZ, Leon Bridges and The Rolling Stones. Gary Clark Jr, Bernard Adamus, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Tupac. Nicolas Jaar, Nicolas Cruz and Nick Cave. Adele, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake. Imagined Herbal Flows, Flying Lotus, Clams Casino and Chance the rapper. Mosdef and Talib Kweli, Erykah Baduh, MF doom and Earth, Wind and Fire. Alan Parsons Project, Metallica, Hopsin, Aphex Twin and Buena Vista Social Club.

Is that enough? :)

Movies:
Inglorious Basterds, The Matrix and Anchorman are my top 3 movies. I enjoy Comedy, Drama and Action just as much as Romance.

Books:
The book that started it all for me was Harry Potter, hence the whole series has a special place in my heart. I enjoy all genres, but Science-Fiction and Mystery really enthrall me more than others. I'd like to read all the Classics no matter how hard a task that may be... Although I wasn't able to finish Crime and Punishment, Candide and The Stranger from sheer boredom, but maybe that was because they were books to read for school and I have not given fair trial to any of them, who knows!?!
