CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Austin, Texas!

ABOUT ME

I'm a library dwelling, recipe collecting, community gardner. Coast to Coast listener, WWOOF member, farmers market regular/vendor, organic farm supporter, a gleaner, and all around exploring type on foot, bicycle, or public-trans when practical, that likes food co-ops and fermentations.
I believe in living life to learn and teach, gain new experiences and make meaningful connections with human beings, doing the best I can and helping others along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Leap... and the net will appear!

What ever you do, do it with a passion!

"Find life experiences and swallow them whole. Travel. Meet many people. Go down some dead ends and explore dark alleys. Try everything. Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life."
- Lawrence K. Fish

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Interests

Beyond my fascination with bulletin boards, independent bookstores, and taking pictures of random things (especially urban decay)
getting to know complete strangers, of course!
I'm interested too in all aspects of sustainable living, market farming, the Slow Food movement, natural cures, fermented foods, and a detox-lifestyle.
