CURRENT MISSION

Equanimity

ABOUT ME

From Los Angeles, but currently traveling! I studied English and and East Asian Studies in University, but I’m interested in learning about almost anything (art, music, philosophy, psychology, gender, history, things that fall outside set disciplines.) I like reading, wondering around with a camera, listening to music, cooking, and learning from other people.

PHILOSOPHY

You create your own reality
