ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm David! Traveling is my passion. I've taught English in South Korea, lived in Shanghai, and studied in London. I'm living in the DC area for now, enjoying my time but always planning my next steps...

PHILOSOPHY

The only approval you need is your own. Happiness is learning.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Chasing a shark "glowing" in water lit up by microorganisms in a bioilluminescent bay at night by kayak. I still have all of my limbs.

Travel stories, crazy (or very sane?) theories about the universe, and a good listening ear.
