About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take beautiful photographs

ABOUT ME

I'm an English teacher working in Hanoi, Vietnam. I've lived here since July 2011. Originally, I'm from the US and grew up moving all around the country (for my dad's job as a journalist). I think that's probably what inspired my love of travel. Currently, I'm in love with Hanoi, learning Vietnamese and how to use my new camera.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is art. I live by paying attention to the details and eating really good food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was offered 84 camels for my hand in marriage in Morocco. Did not accept only because I didn't know what to do with the camels.
