CURRENT MISSION

to get beyond words in everything i do

ABOUT ME

Being my own story's protagonist. climbing, skiing, backpacking, trail running, biking, really anything that gets me into the love, calm and serenity of beautiful mountains. My lifestyle is pretty simple, when im not studying im exploring the world looking to meet new people and learn more about myself. My perfect afternoon: eating peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches on whole grain bread after a long hike or day of climbing.

PHILOSOPHY

Not my quotes but what I strive for all the same;
"He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still." -Lao-Tsu
-The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
Henry David Thoreau
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
Rainer Maria Rilke
