About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread The Zeitgeist Movement train of thought...

ABOUT ME

I know that humanity can do much, much better. We only have to recognize that we have to change internally then go and change the world. We kill 34.000 children every day with weapons like starvation and preventable diseases. War, Money and Profit is not the way. We are ready to be civilized.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we have to practice Goodwill and Compassion, I believe in one humanity / one planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I decided that life in my country was unlivable. Then take my wife and three kids and start a journey that last 6 long years. Finally, we found a place to live in Canada.
INTRODUCTION
I’m a rebel and a radical thinker, hungry for change, justice and equality.
Growing up, I had a wonderful and loving upbringing, and my family moved quite often. When I moved out of my parent’s house, I kept the tradition going. I guess I’ve always really been itching for new adventures and new beginnings. I’m now 60 and have an impressive and slightly shocking 34 moves under my belt that span from different homes in the same city to moves between countries and continents around the world. About 5 years ago a few things happened that shook my world. I became a divorcee and fell into a diagnosed Major Depression that left me without work. I had been dealing with this mental illness for 3 years when I was diagnosed with Cancer. The ultimate C word. I have been battling cancer for 2 years and my battle continues every day, but this is where this project comes in. I invite you to read below to find out about my newest and hopefully not last, great adventure. I hope that you join me in this journey!

THE GREAT ADVENTURE
Traveling across the world is a lifelong dream. One that I always thought would one day come true. One that only a few years ago I thought I would never achieve. What changed? I made a decision. I could continue to live a life of depression and medication, surrounded by four walls forever. Or I could do what I always dreamed of, and go out with a bang. Traveling alone on a motorcycle, stepping out of my comfort zone, seeing great sights and people is one experience that I truly believe can be mentally healing for me.
The Great Adventure is a big one, one that is broken out into Projects. The first one, is Project Canada. When Project Canada is complete, I will embark on other Projects that have already been planned in great detail. Project USA, Project Central America, Project South America. And so on.
Although this has been my dream, I want it to have some external purpose - a way for me to give back. I am an activist and a supporter of The Zeitgeist Movement and I wish to share the message with everyone I encounter. The message is one of Non-Violence, Peace, Compassion, Equality, Collaboration, and Empathy. One of revolution of values, and a change from within. To be the change you want to see in the world.
