ABOUT ME

Pro-bicycle, pro-public-transporation, pro-chocolate, pro-community. I admire self reliance, considerate and respectful people, non-judgmental people, and historical buildings. I'm interested in photography and architecture. I want to learn how to tailor clothes.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
