CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore cities, people, dances, and nature in Europe, East Asia and Oceania

ABOUT ME

I'm usually always smiling. I'm very laid back and easy going. But, I can be a bit quiet and maybe even seem shy - even though I'm a very open person.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Life is a fool's errand.
2. 無爲 (Wu wei).

(This is not the best medium for explaining the above, so feel free to ask when we meet in person, it will make for great discussions!)
