About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world before settling down in life..although even then I'd still want to travel.

ABOUT ME

College student and semi-world traveler! I'm spunky (though can be quiet), spontaneous, and view life broadly in different perspectives. I'm studying psychology in Southern California, and currently traveling/studying abroad. I live the life I love, and I love the life I live! Is that redundant?

PHILOSOPHY

The only thing life can guarantee you is change. Life's about learning & developing, and my favorite lessons are the ones you learn in life, not in the classrooms.

Interests

Psychology, adventures, nature, outdoor activities, chronicling my experiences, happiness, LIFE

Deep life talks, yeah I'm sentimental. Recently I've found myself being more of an observer/listener, whereas in my youth (lol, take that lightly) I was way more of the talker.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shawshank Redemption & The Conjuring are current favorites. All time favorites are The Lion King, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter..I'm a huge kid at heart. Huge.

Love a Chinese pop trio - S.H.E, and I love dance/house music. Anything you can jam to is always fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being with my dad in Cambodia, 30 years after he and his brother were separated due to the Khmer Rouge. Seeing him reunite with friends and relatives in his village was a very blessed opportunity I got to experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Like I said...always down for life talks. (:

My first language was Khmer, but English soon took over when me and my parents were both learning and practicing at the same time. I'd love to teach this ancient language, learn way more about it, and share the culture of Cambodians. I'm Cambodian-American and I'm super passionate about my multi-culturalism. (:
