About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am 32 years old and am from Michigan in the United States. I have been living in Argentina for the past 18 months and loving the country, culture and its people. Although unbelievably still struggling with the language pero todo bien!

Soy vegetariano, I am vegetarian....I love drinking tea and chai tea too is a fav...(real Chai not Oregon imposter chai):)

I love any creative endeavor art, making films, taking photos and just making things....I love capturing light, taking pictures of fuzzy light and specular highlights are an obsession.

I love indie and foreign films.

I need to be in nature on a regular basis hiking, camping or at the lake...

I really enjoy climbing things and jumping off them(trees, rock walls, sand dunes etc), Hitchhiking is so fun in South America too(dont knock it till you tried it.

Love second hand stuff(people and clothes)I also like sewing or at least fixing holes in clothes.

Farm markets are always fun in the summer.

I am always up for a road trip with new or old friends... Upper mich, florida, chicago, NYC or West Coast.... Vamos! lets go...

PHILOSOPHY

I think the universe always conspires in your favor and that is really cool!
