Obligatory Covid update:

I have moved to the Bay Area in the middle of the pandemic. Looking forward to hanging out when things go back to “normal”. Good luck on your modified travels and stay safe!

--------------------------------------------

I am an outgoing introvert, moved to the US in 2014, and until recently have not been going out of my comfort zone too much. Once I did though, I had the most amazing interactions with a lot of different people that I would not have met otherwise.

I enjoy spontaneous activities and book plane/bus tickets, go to shows and drive to places on a whim. I try to do as much as I can when I am not too tired to move. I’m awkward with awkward silence and will always try to break the ice unless I feel that being quiet is less awkward. (yes, that's a lot of awkward :p)

Music, Movies, and Books

I gravitate towards folksy, indie and alternative music. I can listen to anything though - to a certain degree.

I read a lot of Haruki Murakami.

I’m not a big movie person but I like those with happy, or if not, at least insightful/hopeful endings. I am impatient when watching something. I don’t mind spoilers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having amazing conversations with people I just met.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak a bit of Japanese and a lot of Filipino - so there’s that.

I believe the best way to share is through stories!
