CURRENT MISSION

Currently cycling from China to Portugal in 2024!

ABOUT ME

Forever stoked. Lives to surf, hike and bike. Big fan of living cooperatively. Always trying to learn. I studied Political Economy and Chinese at UC Berkeley, graduated December 2012. 2013 and 2014 I biked from Bali through South East Asia and China.

Over the last decade, I worked as a software developer and lived in Santa Monica, Portland and Boulder. Now I’m cycling from China to Portugal to finish cycling around the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Explore, learn, be nice.
