About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding my way! a way to live and be that suits me best.

ABOUT ME

i want to expand on 'occupation' here. im interested in living in a way that means i dont work for a profit driven company, but uses things from myself to provide what i need.that could be many things,so for example my current attempt includes recycling scrap from abandoned buildings into furniture, and selling or swapping this furniture for something useful. id like to live from things i create, in a fulfilling and fun way, someway some how out of 'the system'. i find it much more satisfying than earning lots of money. in the not too distant future i'd like to travel around in a van and squat for a while around europe.
