CURRENT MISSION

I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That's the way I stay alive.
My motto,
as I live and learn,
is
Dig and be dug
In return.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever done was actually 3 things!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach music, share recipes and meals, exchange stories and bullshit with the best of em. I have a little experience with couchsurfing, traveling, living ultra-frugal, taking care of plants and animals and living off the grid.
