I was born in New York, grew up in Singapore, and now more or less live on the beautiful island of Kauai, in Hawaii. I'm a pretty itinerant person right now and haven't really stayed put for the past three years. I studied religion and anthropology in college, so I'm into exploring cultures, reality, and spiritualities. I love to read and write, make art, surf, hike, appreciate and experience nature, make music, and connect with all different kinds of humans. I work remotely as an editor.
