I am curious, adventuresome, and a reluctant texan.

My Self-Summary

I am an avid explorer. Be it in my head, backyard, rivers and forests, or America del Sur; I love new experiences. I think that the worst vice is stagnation and I am always happy to help mix things up.

What I’m doing with my life

mischief and tinkering

And whatever else a BA in Philosophy will get you.

I’m really good at

Let's change this topic to things we could do together:

biking
cooking
eating
rock climbing
teaching
yoga
drinking
slacklineing
disc golf
mischief
photography
traveling
couch surfing

Food without meat. Food cooked by friends. Food eaten with friends. Meals cooked outside. Food from fine restaurants on fancy plates. Food from dumpsters. Food for the soul and food for the eyes. Meals with 50 ingredients, meals with 3. All food eaten with awareness.

The six things I could never do without

the unexpected, solitude, movement, smiles that hint at something deeper, connections

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Why we feel that happiness/contentment is a destination and not part of the journey.

On a typical Friday night I am

working-biking-reading-drinking-playing with my camera-napping-soaking-all of the above

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Me and my roommates have three pet chickens. If you are lucky you can eat eggs with us. (Or fresh picked heirloom tomatoes, if eggs aren't your thing.)

You should message me if
