CURRENT MISSION

To explore.

ABOUT ME

My name is Christa. I don't know if I will ever quite understand why we are here in this world, but here we are nonetheless, and I hope to make the best of it. I love the outdoors. Winter is by far my favorite season. Life is not complete without music. Nor without dancing. I enjoy a good haiku.

PHILOSOPHY

Because it's there.

Riding in the back of a pickup truck under the rich, deep, blackest of black skies that only Africa knows illuminated by stars.

Encountering a Mama Grizzly Bear and her two cubs without being eaten.
