CURRENT MISSION

Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag. -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn

ABOUT ME

I spin fire, play hand drums and perform basic emergency medicine (EMT) for various camping festivals and events for fun.

And I'll gladly do a quick burn for any surfers that I crash with (just let me know you'd like that so I can make sure I have my toys ;) )

PHILOSOPHY

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself. -- Soren Kierkegaard

At this point, I'm doing my best to live my life so that I can honestly look back on it and say I truly lived it, as opposed to watching it pass on by.

Music, Movies, and Books

All sorts of music from Tchaikovsky to Acid Bath with a healthy smattering of all the genres in between. Same with books, although I am a big fan of Danielewski, Umberto Eco and pretty much any existentialist philosphy at this point.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been flown to the Bahamas to dress up as a British Red Coat during the day and a pirate at night for an "Island Roots Heritage Festival"

Teach, Learn, Share

Hand drums - basic to intermediate (doumbek or Djembe) - if I'm crashing on your couch or you're hitting my area for coffe, let me know if you want a few pointers and I'll make sure to bring an extra drum.
