About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live, learn & charge life 24/7 since it is short.

ABOUT ME

You like to play sports? Enjoy traveling? I can tell we will get along just fine! The beach is my thing - my natural highs are surfing and medicine (now currently enrolled in medical school).

I might not have as much monetary capital, but I've earned so much cultural capital I might as well be rich!

PHILOSOPHY

Although not every occurrence is for the better, every occurrence does have at least one good reason for happening.

Try your hardest, and only good results will come. But to not put in your all is to sacrifice the gift. I've always been a believer in love the ones you're with and to blend into the local culture if you're overseas -- otherwise, why travel!?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving In Massachusetts, being able to see the curvature of the earth and watching the clouds fall rapidly at 13,000 feet, was an experience I wish everyone could experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I can play the Piano very well (going on 14 years now..)
- Can teach you how to Surf assum there are boards and waves. Well, I could always generate some waves but riding them would be kinda tough. (often a full-time Surf Instructor on the OBX of NC)
