ABOUT ME

I honestly dont know where to start! I grew up and spent most of my life in south florida. I was a student studying sociology politics and anthropology but now I'm taking time off! (this time off has lasted a few years now)

Over the past few years Ive traveled through a bunch of different places and have lived in both Berlin and Reykjavik, Iceland but more recently Ive settled in Brooklyn.

When i travel i prefer to go by my middle name which is Gage but you can call me Richard too most of my friends do.

Im interested in politics, activism, under ground music, occupy, DIY ethics, Food Not Bombs, Earth First, sociology, veganism, partying, brewing beer, etc.

My ultimate pet-peeve is the existence of borders. I don't like the idea that a government can tell me when and where I am allowed to live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd rather talk about those experiences in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´m very fascinated by languages and would love to learn as much of your language as i can! I also love playing and learning about new instruments and if you have one ive never played before i´ll insist you teach me a thing or two about it.

I would love to teach people how to brew beer and possibly how to play some songs on guitar or banjo (thats always fun)
