CURRENT MISSION

See as many places as I can in my time

ABOUT ME

I work in Istanbul as a salesman. I returned to my home country after 8 years in the United States where I graduated from the University of Virginia. I have been to close to 48 countries so far and can speak 5 languages at varying levels of aptitude.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody have their own views, shaped by circumstantial factors of their family, education, society, region, religion, which personal preferences make fine adjustments. But nothing's set in stone, and people change all the time in the most unexpected, unfathomable ways.

Interests

Exotic places and things: South East Asia, Japan, Korea, China, Iceland, Laos, Myanmar, Mongolia, rock, EDM, feminism, history, politics, eclectic cuisine, East and Southeast Asia?

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies possess the power of taking you elsewhere, to distant countries, cultures, mindsets. They're akin to traveling on a mental level.

I'm quite the cinephile. Seen about 1300 movies.
