CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as possible about this life, and to grow and see and meet people along the way. And more importantly, to learn how to give back to and protect this world we live in.

ABOUT ME

I am a college student who, I think, is just learning to really see this world for what it is. I'm fascinated, somehow, by most things, but in particular I'm entranced by music (mostly classic rock and folk, but anything with good lyrics), reading, philosophy, discussing everything, meeting people, etc (basically, encountering and refining new ideas). I am trying to push myself to do more with my time and see more than I ever imagined, and I love meeting people who are as excited about that as I am. And I love hearing people's stories, no matter what it is. :)

PHILOSOPHY

We're all just here and have to make it work, such that we're happy and harming no one or thing. Life is amazing and beautiful, we just have to figure out how to see and learn where we fit into it all. To find it, we have to constantly challenge ourselves and our worlds.

Interests

Refining ideas, discussing, learning from people, writing, listening to music, learning to play music (guitar, harmonica, drums, bass), rugby, snowboarding, hiking, traveling, finding connections between things, working with abandoned and neglected dogs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I woke up from blindly following a path through life.
For a particular instance, I wandered into Borth, Wales and sat on a beach for 4 hours talking to an old man about... everything.
