CURRENT MISSION

To travel is to live (well).

ABOUT ME

Copywriter for a major internet company by day (and sometimes by night), and film photography hobbyist always.

I'm creative, inquisitive, adventurous, sometimes too snarky for my own good, but rest assured it's all in goodnatured fun.

I'm very much a city kid, and enjoy moving against the crowd to discover back alley cafes, nondescript food places and the occasional pretentious local shop.

Having said that, I can and will thrive in the great outdoors far away from civilization. I'm comfortable living without the usual creature comforts, and would much rather soak in the experience of visiting an unknown place without the need to constantly Instagram it.

Speaking of which, do follow me and say hi @izad.razi on instagram!

PHILOSOPHY

To people who always say "Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"...just turn over the damn box! In short, if there's something in life you want badly enough, you'll find it eventually, somehow. if not, there are still those chocolates...

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a Starbucks barista for about 6 years, so I pride myself on an extensive knowledge of coffee. Ask me anything.

I am also an avid film photography enthusiast, and am currently on several projects involving destroying/agitating films before using them for a shoot. Let me shoot you and I'll be eternally grateful.

I will bring along something from home on all my travels which I will gladly give to my hosts as a token of my appreciation.
