My dream job would be designing dangerous playgrounds or writing fortunes for fortune cookies or concocting Sailor Moon yōma.

I think my personal philosophy is constantly evolving, especially as it relates to travel. I'm currently interested in spending my time in diverse ways when I travel -- stay in one place for a long time, then wander from place to place quickly. Relax for a while, then do solely athletic things. Urban, then rural. And so on. In that way, I can keep myself both stimulated and charged.

I'm also just very silly.
