One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

climbing mountain Tai in China to watch the sunrise with hundreds of Taoist pilgrims; spend a summer living at 10,000 ft. as a fire lookout; romping through the gila wilderness, the best medicine I know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cycle, backpack, hike, and climb, let's do it together! I can also teach bodywork, yoga, random local history, and cook up some mean vegetarian grub. What can you teach me? I love to learn.
