2014, the year of music and mountains. When the lineup for the Britt Festival came out earlier that year I could barely contain my excitement. This was the first time there was more than just one act that I was excited about and I was determined to see as many shows as I could afford.Continue reading “The Year of Music and Mountains”

Northwest Youth Corps
Being an introvert I’ve never done particularly well with stepping out of my comfort zone. I usually end up backing out at the last second or refuse to give an experience the chance it deserves. Last summer I took a giant step out of my small comfort zone and signed up for the Northwest YouthContinue reading “Northwest Youth Corps”
Screaming for joy
So I’m taking a leaf out of John Green’s book for this post. He recently shared this video of this man who was trekking across Antarctica and had left himself caches of food and supplies at certain points through his journey. This traveler, Aleksander Gamme, has lost nearly 40 pounds and can’t remember what heContinue reading “Screaming for joy”

Birthdays
Sure I’ve had some shitty birthdays, but they’ll never out shit the day I realized I didn’t wear the same size jeans as my friends. That my body had other plans even though I wanted to stay flat and shapeless for the rest of my life. There are days when things go wrong, and thenContinue reading “Birthdays”

You’d think after all those horror films I’d getContinue reading “A Rational Fear”
Planes, Trains, and Amsterdam
So during my recent adventure my travel buddy and I ran into some problems when we moved to different countries. We created our own version of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Every time the two of us got ready to move to a new location something blew up in our faces causing us to stress aboutContinue reading “Planes, Trains, and Amsterdam”
A Midnight Starvation
Here’s another poem that I wrote while I was wwoofing in Ireland, feedback is always welcome! I’m so hungry The empty hole in my stomach gets bigger and bigger by the second leaving room for a starving swallow to create her nest. Carrying wood and sticks she carefully wraps their fingers together, creating a mazeContinue reading “A Midnight Starvation”
Natural Building, Glamping, and Normandy
Hello all, I really want to spread the word about this wonderful place that has come into being. When I was in Normandy, France last month I was staying with a friend of a friend who is creating his own sustainable homestead. He is turning his property into a place for campers and those whoContinue reading “Natural Building, Glamping, and Normandy”

I recently just got back from a two month trip in Europe where I was wwoofing, adventuring, and meeting new people. I wanted to post some of the poetry that I wrote during thisContinue reading “Something new….”
