CURRENT MISSION

I am seeking balance in every aspect of my life.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently traveling throughout the western US. I would really like to meet friendly people who could show, or even just tell, me all of the best places about where they live.

I believe every day is a chance to find beauty in life. The sky is an ever changing, awe inspiring canvas with a limitless spectrum. Musicians, artists and authors show us their visions of our tumultuous yet beautiful world which can illicit an equally broad spectrum of pure emotion. The capacity for love is in all of us. In some, latent, in others, blatant and out of control. All of which have the potential for random acts of kindness and compassion.
I am just one person trying to navigate this fleeting existence as astutely as possible, with the awareness that none of us know it all, or have exactly the right answers. I believe each individual should be open and honest with themselves, and hopefully honest with those whom one chooses to surround oneself. I believe that truth, love and beauty are worth living for. I enjoy being around people with an open mind, and a desire to gain a broader perspective on life. I also am in a perpetual state of trying to learn how to best interact with others, with a desire to understand differing viewpoints, while making an earnest effort to express myself effectively, and hopefully, on occasion, artistically.

PHILOSOPHY

Love conquers all.

Top 3 foods: Sushi, Pizza and Ice Cream. Put it on my tombstone, I don't care.
Aside from pizza and ice cream, I actually prefer a balanced, nutritious diet. I love juicing and raw foods. I also truly enjoy cooking for other people, dishes with a variety of ingredients and ethnicities.

Oh, and yes I love craft beerz...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first certified diving experience was at the Great Barrier Reef.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm full of knowledge. I am slowly gaining wisdom. Google and YouTube has everything. I enjoy learning from all of my experiences with others. I am currently very interested in learning everything I can about permaculture and aquaponics....
