About Me

I LOVE mountains and beaches and cities, so I'm very happy living in LA now.

- Traverse Russia on the Trans-Siberian train

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into all genres of music, from James Blake to Beatles to AR Rahman to jazz, and I'd love to explore new sounds. Same goes for movies. Big fan of LOTR.

I don't really have time to read books for fun anymore, but I like short stories, like Alice Munro's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on my first backpacking trip to the Eastern Sierras for about a week! It's definitely the most rewarding trip I've been on and the lakes and mountains were breathtaking! I'm totally stoked to go backpacking again soon.
