CURRENT MISSION

Headed to some major European cities and would love to see the more local side of things. Looking to meet some great folks. I would love to hang out, do some fun daytime adventuring or night life with you, but can also be very independent, especially if you want me to be! I am very intuitive and sensitive to the needs of others so will not be a bothersome couch bug.

ABOUT ME

At work I teach math to 11 year old children with attitudes. I thoroughly enjoy music (making, listening), art, poetry, playing chess, pretty much anything outdoors (running, hiking, snowboarding, surfing, swimming, playing catch etc), cooking and the sharing of good conversations and adventures! I am somewhat of an idealist but also do not shy away from the real situation, with all its ugliness and its beauty...I see many great problems and challenges in the world, but I am no pessimist and I believe that the human species is evolving in a positive direction. I thrive on the new: information, ideas, adventures, its all good.

PHILOSOPHY

Its not the destination that is important, its the ride, laughing, singing, the dancing along the way. Lets dance.

If you want to get your head out of the clouds, you have to go up.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Toured the USA with AmeriCorps NCCC a community service program.

Got to see some amazing humanity coming together when things are bad,

At the end of ten months ended up doing it as a job in Denver, which I love.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Im open to hear what anyone has to say.

Maybe if we meet each other thru CS, we can learn from each other.

I enjoy cooking with people.
Creating group art is awesome.

Martial Arts is cool.

I want to be in a band with some laid back musicians, so if you play, bring an instrument!

Paesi che ho visitato

Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua
