About Me

ABOUT ME

I play Indonesian gamelan and have recently gotten into Irish ceili dancing. Currently, I'm studying to teach English abroad and then I hope to go to certain places once I launch myself from the United States. Places include Mexico > Japan > Southern China > Bandung, Indonesia > and back to Bali, Indonesia once again.
