About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Find the neglected, crumbling, cold, rusty corners of the world and sharing their beauty.
ABOUT ME
I am a 28 year old man searching for a way to follow my passion and find meaning in life while taking care of those I love and making a home. I have been travelling and hitch hiking for years now, and criss-crossed the states and Canada, from Tijuana to the Northwest Territories, and am glad to finally have a couch to offer fellow travelers.
I am currently a student in Peterborough, Ontario working towards a diploma in Social Service Work. I am loving my courses, and can't wait to get back into the field!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Slab City, California was not only incredibly beautiful, but it was kind an example of what kind of community people can build from nothing with no government and almost no resources. The city was made of art and filled with artists, everyones home was unique and built from desert scraps and salvaged materials. There was live music and jam sessions at the public stages, and business advertising was by hand written note or word of mouth. "need some welding? Come see bob, red trailer at the end of Blue Rd." It was a perfect community in the beautiful setting of the bone dry and wild california desert.
