ABOUT ME

At the current moment, I am in a weird transitional phase between returning from traveling the world for the past two years and adjusting to staying in one place for the next four. Having just returned from a 'self' centric odyssey through Asia and the Pacific, I find myself now making roots in a new city. With great changes comes great excitement!

PHILOSOPHY

Your 20's are your 'selfish' years. Its a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

It is difficult to decide on one amazing thing that I've done, as I have had the privilege of experiencing many amazing places/things. However, one recent amazing thing that I have done is dive with a 5 metre, 2000lb Manta Ray in the waters off of Komodo Island, Indonesia.

Manta Rays are truly beautiful, graceful, gentle giants. This big guy swam along side me as I anchored myself to the rocky sea bed, (so the current wouldn't sweep me away) he then swam over top of me touching my head to feel my hair, and the bubbles released from my regulator. This manta was so massive, it completely blocked out the sun.e And right before swimming ahead to go eat more plankton, he pooped all over me. Seriously awesome diving in Komodo. One of the coolest things I have ever experienced (:

教，学，和分享

I currently have 3 lessons that I offer:
1.) How to make awesome butter chicken.
2.) How to play guitar pretty ok I guess.
3.) How to not die in the forest.

I love to learn, so teach me pretty much anything and i'll be happy.

I have a lot of stories to share!
