CURRENT MISSION

to see every place that isn't like home.

ABOUT ME

I'm 20 years old and extremely curious to see the diversity of cultures/cities/landscapes/customs around the world. I'm slowly attempting to satisfy this curiousity.

I get an immense amount of joy from seeing something that's different back home. Even little things; like foreign McDonald's menu items, potato chip flavours, or public transport systems; it's all spectacularly intriguing and exciting to me.

In grew up in a small town (population ~4500), but now live in Perth, studying Commerce (majoring in marketing, management) and Communications (majoring in anthropology/sociology) at university. I'm a very friendly and polite person, though occasionally awkward. Apparently it's endearing.

PHILOSOPHY

to live life efficiently and to maximise joy

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

MOVIES:
I'm really, really bad at narrowing these down (as I have so so many favourite films), but I'll try to limit it to a few:
- Oldboy
- The Diving Bell & the Butterfly
- Training Day
- Der Untergang
- Hotel Rwanda
- Momento
- Schindler's List
- Se7en
- Trainspotting
- No Country For Old Men
- The Dark Knight
- Girl, Interrupted
- American History X
- Babel
- Shawshank Redemption
- Blood Diamond
- Inception
- Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
- *anything by Tarantino*
and a lot, lot more. I love films.

I also watch a lot of TV shows that I really cannot be bothered to list.

MUSIC:
Again, it's impossible to list a few. I listen to most genres of music, but predominately indie, hardcore, punk/alternative Rock, experimental, witchhouse/drag, electronic, and recently I've been listening to a LOT of hip hop (having never really listened to it before).

So yeah, if you listen to any of those genres, chances are we'll have something to talk about.

BOOKS:
I really wish I read more. I have a pile of about 20-30 books that I've bought but never gotten around to reading, sadly.

I mostly have an interest in non-fiction stuff, like Freakonomics, Buyology etc, and stuff about marketing/consumer psychology.

Favourite fiction novels are probably Animal Farm and Choke (Chuck Palahniuk).
