CURRENT MISSION

Taking a year off to study and travel around Europe. The things I want to learn cannot be studied at university...so I am "diy" making my own masters degree :))

Also looking for a place I would like to live for the next few years, ideally a small city or village with a vibrant community. A balance between living close to nature and living close to humans.

PHILOSOPHY

Seeker of truth and lover of peace...learning my place in the universe

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked in Okinawa with a friend during my first CS experience - as a new traveler at the time, it blew my mind and now I’m in love with this style of traveling ^_^
