Currently reading-
Mind: An Introduction to Philosophy
As far as books are concerned, I read to learn so I mostly read non-fiction about new topics that interest me. Right now I am interested in philosophy & religion so I am reading related books. Ever since childhood my absolute favorite books to read have been health & science related. When I was 13 I read a book called "Surviving the Toxic Crisis" by William Keller, which piqued my desire to go into the health profession.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first backpacking trek was a solo trip in April on the Kepler Track in New Zealand. I completed the 37 mile track in 3 days without any prior physical training (as a result, I was effectively crippled for the next 2 weeks) & had the most frightening disembodied experience of my life on Mt. Luxmore in pelting rain & 40mph wind.
