Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Neo soul, bluegrass, outlaw country, alt rock, indie rock, grunge, reggaeton, folk, lo fi, tropical house, afropop... whatever moves me.

Movies: Love those goofy, irreverent comedies from the early 2000s. Equally love dark, though-provoking postmodern films. Usually down for anything action/adventure, and always down for Wes Anderson.

Books: Anything by Vonnegut, Latin American magical realism e.g. Marquez/Allende/etc., any kind of travel/adventure story, lots of non-fiction science and nature writing. Currently reading Greenhorns: The Next Generation of American Farmers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stood next to a raging geothermal well in Iceland, climbed to the top of a Namibian sand dune at sunrise, gazed out over the Edinburgh skyline from Arthur's Seat, explored the many wonderful backstreets of Spain, spent a month road trippin' across the USA... OK, that's more than one, but it's impossible to choose!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to grow and cook healthy food. I can share my knowledge of agriculture and natural systems. Ready to learn about everything, because there's always so much out there! Specifically interested in learning more about sustainability, self-sufficiency, and wilderness camping.
