ABOUT ME

I'm an IT consultant that lives in San Francisco but travel 100% of the time for work. Currently I'm on a project just outside of Philly and trying to explore the major cities on the East Coast.

While not working, I love hanging out with friends, eating at nice restaurants, going to Film Festivals/Theater/Movies, playing board games, exploring nature, and simply just living life to its fullest.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

*Kayaked in Ha Long Bay into a serene lagoon surrounded by hills and only had 10X50 ft opening at sea level. The only sounds were the splash of the water from the kayak paddles and the sound of chirping cicada. It was absolutely pure bliss.
*Hiked through the Corcovaco National Park and saw a baby Tapir from ~10 feet away
*Couchsurfing on a 37' sailboat and anchoring in the perfectly still habor at night.
*Skydived from 15,000 in Queensland, NZ
