About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live. laugh. and love

ABOUT ME

Alrighty, here we go...I just finished up college where I found a devout passion or two for natural beauty, community, and food! In a nutshell I want to be a sustainable farmer and out of classroom educator, eventually. Right now I am taking time to learn a little about the beauty of people and places that I live with in this world. It may sound romantic, it may sound cheesy, but hey I'm a cheesy romantic and proud of it! I've spent the past month WWOOFing on an organic farm in Mcminnville Oregon so that I could spend some time with my 93 yr old g-ma (she's pretty damn cool). While here, this place not only furthered my love of farm life, but also allowed me to befriend some of the most intellectual, creative, life loving people I have ever met. In teaching me about their lives I learned a lot about my own, somethings I hope to never forget. An so, the itch has started, the adventure begins, the ants are officially in my pants, I'm ready to be awestruck, humbled, and to open my self to the world.

PHILOSOPHY

we're never too old to learn, and we're never too busy or too full to love

I have heard countless boasts about how amazing a resource this is (my buddies K naughty and Jeff(budah)), but personally I have only met one guy from Poland and showed him around San Francisco, and heard some epic tales from my traveling bike buddy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

been brought to tears by the beauty of a forest. It was that powerful.

Teach, Learn, Share

did you know that the common weedy dandylion can be brewed as a tea (from leaves)that aids skin complection or roasted (from roots)for a coffee substitute?

well now you do. I love plants =) I love to open my eyes to natural things we have been blind to for so long, I dont know how much I can teach, but I'd love to learn more with you.
