About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Simply to experience the cultures around me and meet new good people.

ABOUT ME

I'm an exchange student from New York, United States.
I like fun adventures. However oftentimes in reality there is such a defined limit as to what we can do and accomplish. There is so much more things to be done than can ever be done. I write stories and shoot to create the landscapes of imagination and the skies of wonder.
I enjoy travel photography which is a good mix between landscape and candid which I both love to do. I enjoy eating all kinds of foods no matter how gross it may seem and cooking foreign food though I'm not that good at it. I like to experience life through touch rather than just seeing and hearing.
I am extremely curious and absolutely love to try out new things in practically any category. Needless to say I like to explore.
I'm pretty still and calm to the point of being a bit introverted. However I love to do exciting things, though it tends to be a little bit more less sane.

I want to become a screenwriter and travel around the world filming in all kinds of different locations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In high school: Climbed onto a basketball hoop during gym class, poured baby oil onto the boy's locker room floor, walked on a lunch table during lunch.

College: Rocked out with an awesome rock band called the °Love Handles° with a cardboard electric guitar that looks like a real "pink" Gibson Les Paul.

Jumped over a burning recliner that was poured with a tank of gasoline.

Popped in front of the same "Love Handles" at an earlier mini concert.

Got stuck in a riptide.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe a little of Korean-American culture.
