About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The perfect cocktail

ABOUT ME

I love maps, music, Moroccan mint tea, languages, mullets, immigrants, Marcel Duchamp, and gin & tonics. I am happiest when cursing in foreign languages, in poorly-lit bars, attending art walks, snowboarding, or reading. I also enjoy doing nothing.

PHILOSOPHY

Iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, panem et circenses
