CURRENT MISSION

Adjusting to hometown life after a year teaching English in Malaysia. Making up for a year's worth of Mexican food deprivation.

ABOUT ME

I'm excited to be back in Philadelphia after a year away. CS helped me meet some of the coolest people I got to know in Malaysia, so I'm hoping it will serve the same purpose in Philly.

PHILOSOPHY

While I'm traveling, I'll say yes to almost anything (within reason). Invite to a Malay wedding where I'll have no idea what's going on? YES. Invite to Chinese New Year prayers at midnight on a school night? YES. Invite to eat cow stomach at the school canteen? YES, well, ok. My goal is to get out of the American bubble and try new things.
