CURRENT MISSION

travel as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently an undergrad, studying english literature, and travel during my summer and winter breaks. I'm often unintentionally funny, and really enjoy meeting new people. I like food a lot. I spend basically like 40% of my waking hours eating things. We will get along splendidly if you also like food. I also like books, movies, and music, and tend to talk people's ears off if I get started on any of these subjects.

So far, I've traveled sort of extensively in Asia (kind of.. but it's a huuuuge continent!), especially China. I've also been to Italy and Mexico. I love sharing travel stories and would love to hear about yours!

I'm a big "auteur" theory supporter. I generally like things done by:
Michel Gondry, Katsuhito Ishii, Tetsuya Nakashima, Sion Sino, Satoshi Kon, Ozu, Wong Kar-Wai, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Yu Li, Adam Elliot, Francois Ozon, Leos Carax, Mai Tominaga, Xavier Dolan, Jim Jarmusch, Edward Yang

And my fav writers are:
Carson McCullers, Camus, Thomas Mann, Haruki Murakami, Linda Davis, Tolstoy, Dostoevesky, Ovid, Kafka, Nabokov, Yukio Mishima, Junichiro Tanizaki, Dante, E. Nesbit, Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Keats

In terms of music, I'm into your average "alt" stuff. Not super obscure, but really not at all into the top 40 stuff..
