CURRENT MISSION

To see as many places as possible before I return to the "real world"

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Long Beach, California, went to college in the Bay Area, and worked in Hollywood before moving to Beijing. I love the beach - I need to be within a 15mi. radius from the beach, so this time in Beijing is killing me. I hate cold weather (unless I am out skiing one weekend), and always have my heater on - Beijing is also killing me for this reason. I want to travel as much as possible before settling down (which I propose means moving back to the States) - and am on a mission, starting today, to save as much money as possible so that I can travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Take the road less traveled.

Lies make the truth more fun.

You were born an original, don't die a copy.
