CURRENT MISSION

Just pursuing my happiness, treading lightly on the earth and trying to make it to Mongolia, someday

ABOUT ME

I love .....
camping, canoeing, cooking and baking, reading under shady trees, not taking myself (or the rest of the world) too seriously, staying out late enough to watch the sun come up, trying to make people laugh, dancing like a silly fool, spontaneous gatherings, random acts of kindness and maybe hugging a tree from time to time.

PHILOSOPHY

"Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.' 'I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it half an hour a day. Why, sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the full moon illuminate the Sahara desert. Hearing the call to prayer echo across Istanbul at dawn. Immersing myself in the chaotic symphony of the Amazon jungle. Sitting in Yellowstone National Park at sunset, watching hundreds of buffalo migrate across a field of geysers. Feeling the heartbeat and vibrant beauty of Montreal.
