CURRENT MISSION

See and learn about the world while I'm still young

ABOUT ME

I love East Asia, I studied Chinese and Japanese and plan to learn Korean. At risk of being trite, I also enjoy making new friends. Feel free to contact me any time.

PHILOSOPHY

We can't be young forever and we're responsible to make the most of it while we can.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I peeked into North Korea from the Chinese side of the border and waved at the people on the other side. Maybe it's not "amazing" to everyone, but realizing these people were not my enemies was one of the most touching momets I've had.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

After living in China, I believe misperceptions among people about others is one of the greatest threats we face in this world. Continued interaction with people, particularly people from different countries, lifestyles or situations is the best way to alleviate this.
