About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eating as much Pho as possible

ABOUT ME

I like getting lost in making art or in travelling or in being outdoors (sometimes literally.) Also, I enjoy a good movie or book. Maybe a good wine, too. I'm pretty classy, really.

I would can be shy sometimes. However, I enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their experiences.

I guess I'm still young and figuring out the rest of what to put here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time my brother and I went backpacking in the Washington Cascades. We had hiked for two days and saw a bear just before reaching our second campsite at a high pass at a snowfield. We were so freaked out we stayed up the whole night and happened to see a meteor shower. We hiked 18 miles back to the next day, and rented a motel room that night and enjoyed a hot shower.
