CURRENT MISSION

Cracking paradigms of modern civilization.

ABOUT ME

I thrive on adventure and new experiences. Freight trains, punk music, squatting, dumpster diving and being a concientious human. I'm all about meeting new people and listening to their stories. I like simplicity and am easily entertained. I enjoy quiet mornings with coffee or black tea and a book. Or quiet evenings with herbal tea and a cat on my lap. I enjoy wilderness areas more than cities, but appreciate good things about both places. I tend to travel solo mostly. I like to challenge myself and be outside my comfort zone. Collectives, used bookstores and basement shows are where I often find myself. I like to see people working together to uplift the marginalized and subvert society´s paradigms of greed, wealth and consumerism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm. I am often awestruck at small things. One time I sat and watched a spider spinning its web in the door frame of the back shed at our cabin in northern Wisconsin. And most sunsets leave me quite awestruck as well. I´m often astounded that such brilliant colors exist.
