ABOUT ME

Grad student, traveling enthusiast.

PHILOSOPHY

I dream of a better way, of song and dance and magic, outside the realms of human culture.
(I wrote this when I set this profile, now it seems way too dynamic and maybe I'm giving up on the dream. so I'm adding the parentheses)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sailed on a cargo ship as a deck cadet when I was 20 and travelled to 5 Asian countries.

Teach, Learn, Share
