About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

2018: MA #2 in Budapest.

2014-2017: Living and working in Hong Kong, traveling in Asia.

2013: Graduated from MA!

2012: Arrived in London!

2012: Going to move to London for an MA in September! In Los Angeles until then, feel free to contact me :)

2011: Maybe moving to S. Korea to teach English? Or to UK for an MA?

2010: In LA!! Been having some success here, so that's great. Also keeping in touch with CS world :)

2009: I am still in LA, not 'settled' but working and getting to know the city. I'm very busy with lots of activities so it's rare that I have time to host, but feel free to contact me anyway.

2006: I am a nomad, or at least I like to think I am. I've been traveling recently, but I'm sort of stationary again, due to a lack of money and a need to stay in LA to work in the entertainment industry. But, even when the nomadic spirit goes onto the back burner, it's still very much alive!

I live by music, listening to it all the time and checking out new music as often as I can.
The arts are very important to me, as is environmentalism, nature, and of course travel. I also love to cook, eat, talk, and read.

PHILOSOPHY

Agnostic, environmentalist, feminist
