About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover All of Life's Secrets One Meal At a Time

ABOUT ME

I'm 26, born and raised in California and a graduate from UCSD with a background in Economics and Computer Science. I've always wanted to travel and explore the world since I was a child. When I was 20, I took the leap and studied abroad in Europe. Since then, I've traveled through Asia and have a trip booked in March to South America. I love staying at hostels, meeting people from all over the world and eating anything and everything. My friends say I am funny but I think I'm just goofy.

PHILOSOPHY

I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Clinking beers with Italians during Oktoberfest. Sunset on Mykonos atop a rock in the middle of the ocean on a private beach. Nude bathing in Cinque Terre. Lighting crazy fireworks (that should be illegal) in China during Chinese New year. Getting blackballed by the taxi mafia in Thailand (they really do exist). Trying to get photos with the lady boys and failing. Eating noodles on a boat in the boat market in Thailand. Getting mobbed by ravenous monkeys who stole my Famous Amos cookies. Going to a fish spa in Malaysia.

I believe everyone has something that they can teach me.
