I am eclectic, generous, and on the move.

My Self-Summary

I'll put this simply. I'm seeking a path to spiritual enlightenment but I am wandering a lot along the way.

I took a big adventure this summer hiking 187 miles accross desert and mountain. Then I spent a month in India. These aren't the only amazing trips I've taken in my life but they are definitely two that changed my life in many ways.

They were dreams fulfilled as was my move to portland and everything that has come after. In such a short time I achieved my goals and yet the hard work has just begun. I live life boldly and though I don't always seize the day I am always open to the adventure.

What I’m doing with my life

Trying to teach myself how to live a more aware life while keeping a laid back attitude towards things.

I am working on a project to raise money for music education. I just feel like it's time to give back to young minds.

I am teaching myself more music on the guitar, working on a zine with a friend, and reading a book on Buddhism.

I listen to NPR podcasts whenever I can so I can try to stay up with what's going on in the world.

I really want to go out and start doing some more hiking and camping but the weather is turning on me as we speak.

I need to find some sort of creative musical outlet so I'm going to try to put together a project with someone, but I'm not sure what we're going to do.

Otherwise I'm just open to the experience when I can be and I'm always secretly scheming how to get back to India so I can lie on the beach for a couple months or live in the foothills of the Himalayas and teach Tibetan monks English.

I’m really good at

singing, writing, dancing, conversation,standing up for what I believe in, seeking to be kind to others, learning new things, adapting to new situations, being sincere even if I am sometimes too direct

The first things people usually notice about me

I have a bit of a wit and can often be sarcastic. I am confident and well spoken but I can be ridiculous if the situation merits.

Do you Match Me?

Take My MatchMe Test

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books: Jitterbug Perfume, Survivor, Martian Chronicles, Cats Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, Steppenwolf, On Libery, Kafka the Short Stories

Movies: I like Documentaries, Things with subtitles, and the occasional low brow action or comedy. I really try to not be a snob about much

Music: I like everything from Radio Head to the Avett Brothers from Phish to Deltron. My tastes are variable but I don't like crazy death metal or bands whose lyrics sound like they were copied out a 7th graders diary

The six things I could never do without

Struggle
Truth
Growth
Discipline
Peace
Curiosity

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How to live life in peace with the world around me and in balance with my community without sacrificing my identity or individual perspective.

Plotting how to escape to a distant place with a pleasant companion to relax and reflect

On a typical Friday night I am

Actually working, being in the music business means I'm busy during the weekend quite a bit, but that's the price you pay to do what you love and work with great music.

On my nights off I always try to do something new, but it usually involves just spending times with friends talking or hanging out.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am honest but will often argue points of view I don't personally agree with, because ideas challenged are ideas strengthened.

You should message me if

You don't mind that I'm busy on the weekends.
Are looking for someone to take adventures with someday.
Or if something I said spoke to you. You might have something to teach me and I hope I will have something to share as well.
