About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as possible from this world and contribute something that suits the beauty of its complexity.

ABOUT ME

Silly and positive to sombre and pensive for looking at diversity and depth, with a healthy imagination and a sense of adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Before our birth, if someone were to describe to us what this world would look like, what a wonderful and strange place we would imagine it to be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can contribute knowledge of living and working in the West coast of America, France, Georgia, Ethiopia, Japan, and Vietnam. I know a good amount about linguistics, history, owls, and literature. I'm always interested in learning more about other cultures and history. I'd like to learn more about survival skills, nature, cuisine, farming and medicine.
