About Me
CURRENT MISSION
What's up Southeast Asia!?!
ABOUT ME
I'm visiting my sister in Chon Buri, Thailand and will be taking December and part of January to explore as much of Thailand as possible.
PHILOSOPHY
I like to let things happen without meddling too much. I find that the most beneficial opportunities are those that I find without searching. I think that interpersonal connections are so, so important.
Interests
Take me outside. I have the utmost respect for water and mountains. I love rivers, waterfalls, the ocean. At home I enjoy backpacking, kayaking, rock climbing, caving, swimming, and picnicking. I'm really interested in the slow food movement and getting back to the roots of where our food comes from through organic practices. I also love linguistics and seeing a culture through its language, its history, and its people.
