ABOUT ME

Post Doc at Ohio State University. I travel whenever I have the time, be it 3 day mini roadtrips or 3 months abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

1. We have a finite span to live. To experience is to live. To understand is to enjoy. Make the best of where you are because at the end of the day every place and every situtaion we are in is just a different flavor from the same plate.

2. Dance.

3. "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." -Einstein

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once swam out in the ocean as far as I could in the dark night sky with my childhood best friend. It was a remarkable experience to have your only source of light be the stars. It was almost worth the nearly death defying swim back to land.

"Last Breath"

Skipping.
Skipping shells.
They spin off the coast
leaping like sea gazelles
against cold predator waves
clinging onto sunlight
before they return
to the sea.
