About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in mediation and yoga, making art, playing music. I play guitar, ukulele, steel drum and will be traveling with my new melodica this time!

I've spent the past couple years living in San Francisco participating in the art/ weirdo scene here. I lived in a wonderful co-op with 12 people. I love the feeling of community and meeting new friends of roommates.

I took a year off a couple years ago to travel, doing a road trip around the US and a long backpacking trip in Southeast Asia. More recently I spent 4 months in India and am now doing my first bicycle tour from Seattle to SF.

I love meeting new people and getting beyond the small talk, focusing on what is important to them.

I'm deeply curious and love learning.

I have done software on and off professionally, and have also been a social worker. I'm thinking my likeliest career paths are either becoming a therapist or remaining a traveler with a gig income indefinitely.

PHILOSOPHY

My goal in life is to have as many worth-while experiences as I can. I feel life is short and there won't always be a later, so I like to do things now. I want to learn as much as I can and see as many different sides of life as I have time for.

Relatedly I'm deeply committed to continuous self-improvement, and I feel learning and having a broad range of experiences contributes to that.

I really value helping people, and am particularly interested in being a good listener, whether someone is just telling a story or if they need to get something emotional off their chest.
