CURRENT MISSION

just want to travel and see the world

ABOUT ME

30 countries by 30 years of age is the goal. so far i'm at 10 countries.

i'm blessed with family and friends. a job i love doing. living in a beautiful city. i'd rather bike and transit than drive although i like roadtrips once in a while.

life is short. i work hard to save money and "buy" experiences instead of things. to me, brunch rules weekends. i like to eat out and experience food with friends. as lorelai from Gilmore girls said, i like coffee with my oxygen.

PHILOSOPHY

life's short.

Music, Movies, and Books

the sound of music is the best movie ever. i enjoy historical, period drama, and biographical movies. i also like musicals.

i listen to classical music and enjoy opera once in awhile. rarely listen to pop but i enjoy my 90's/2000s boy band era songs when i'm in the mood. i like most music types.

as a fan of the TV show Gilmore girls, i have a mission to read through the 300 book list of Rory. i'm into the classics right now and reading Moby Dick currently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the grand canyon is spectacular. i felt very small as a human being and amazed at God's creation. we live in a beautiful world that's ours to explore.

Teach, Learn, Share

i will teach you something from my culture. i also like to eat out and experience different foods so i can usually recommend some places to eat in town.

i'd like to learn how to speak a few useful words in your native tongue.

if you can play an musical instrument, i'd love to sing along with you and share the joy of music.
