CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting people around the world. Listen to stories, share a few.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living and studying in Taipei, Taiwan, and I'm looking forward to traveling around the island a bit on breaks. I'm pretty easy-going and I always like learning new things. From welding and car repair to beer-making techniques and conversational Chinese. Next on my list, computer programming (!) Before Taipei I lived in Seattle and I grew up in Georgia.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a thoughtful guy, I think about a lot of things. But I don't like to beat people over the head with my ideas. If I have something constructive to share, I will, otherwise I try to spend more time listening and asking questions.
