CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people in Los Angeles and explore Southern California!

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in traveling the world and meeting exciting, interesting people and having adventures! I live in Los Angeles and am hoping to see more of this part of the country.

PHILOSOPHY

"When the child was a child, it was the time for these questions: Why am I me, and why not you? Why am I here and not there? When did time begin, and where does space end? Is life under the sun not just a dream? Is what I see and hear and smell not just an illusion of a world before the world? Given the facts of evil and people, does evil really exist? How can it be that I, who I am, didn't exist before I came to be, and that, someday, I, who I am, will no longer be who I am?" - Rainer Maria Rilke, Lied Vom Kindsein (Song of Childhood)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Once I was 15 and a bunch of us were up all night on a kibbutz in Israel just watching the sun rise, and it came up from the other side of the tree-covered hill we were sitting on and created this silver halo of light and we just began climbing toward the peak without saying anything.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you the basics of print or broadcast journalism, some guitar chords, how to bake bread, and a handful of key phrases in French or Hebrew.
