About Me

CURRENT MISSION

à devenir un ours en colère à Paris.

ABOUT ME

You will NOT like me because:
1. I have terrible road rage.
2. I drink too much.
3. I don't take things too seriously.
4. I mock people too much.
5. I'm too easy.

I have spent a good part of 2010 until the beginning 2013 living in Seoul and seeing as much of Southeast Asia as I could. I supplemented this by working (posing) as an English teacher and those years have been the most memorable to date. Today, I work in quality control for infrastructure projects.

PHILOSOPHY

better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all.

Interests

scuba diving, surfing, swimming, paintball, fancy German cars, the gym.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1.) Driving down the Highway 1 from Orange County to San Francisco in my new Volkswagen GTi along the Pacific Ocean - arguably the most scenic drive in America.

2.) Surfing for the first time in San Clemente, California.

3.) Exploring the catacombs of Paris - so wonderfully surreal !

4.) Crossing the Sahara Dessert - with no toilet paper (dont ask)

5.) Scaring off a would-be thief in Barcelona

6.) "Falling off the radar" and getting my advanced diver certification in the Gili Islands in Indonesia. Also got peed on by an irate monkey when I ran out of bananas in Ubud.

7.) Swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, Philippines
