I love languages and absorbing new cultures from exploring ancient ruins to bustling metropolitans.
I have 2 red poodles.

CURRENT MISSION

I had a trip planed to Japan in April of 2020, but had to cancel in early January of that year. I'll be booking that trip again whenever possible... until then if the boarder opens up with the US (and, obviously when travel becomes a realistic and responsible thing to do again) I'd like to take back to Utah, Nevada, Arizona... California is a second home in my heart forever.

PHILOSOPHY

minimalism
be here now
resistance is futile, acceptance is key
