About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sharing life and adventures

ABOUT ME

Love having a good heart-to-heart over anything from politics and philosophy to pidgeons and puddles. I love seeing, finding, exploring or just experiencing beautiful new things, places and people.

Currently a law and asian studies student just over half way through a six year degree. Trying to procrastinate from deciding on real life stuff by running away from Australia for a year and a half to study and have fun in foreign countries. Will hopefully be further along the path of figuring myself out better by the end of it - hopefully, but will probably just be more confused by the ever-deepening weird puddle of thoughts and feelings that is me.

PHILOSOPHY

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

We're all in this together.

Music, Movies, and Books

LCD soundsystem, Arcade Fire, Beatles, Bon Iver, Mumford and Sons, Strokes, XX, Thank You for Smoking, Janelle Monae, Community, Childish Gambino, Mad Men, Archer, The Drums, Curtis Mayfield, IT Crowd, Summer Heights High, Flight of the Chonchords, Stuff by Charlie Kaufman and/or Spike Jonze, Fantastic Mr. Fox, LoT, Big Dumb Action Movies where stuff blows up (when i'm in the mood for it).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my proudest moments was when I stumbled upon Sarah Palin's 'One Nation' bus at midnight in Boston... and then I peed on it.

The natural beauty of Yosemite and New Zealand both blew my mind. The sprawling urban forests and teeming culture of New York and Shanghai did likewise. Sharing life in a co-op at berkeley for one semester has changed me forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sax skills, crappy guitar skills, some kinda useful language skills, some (probably impractical) legal knowledge. I know about three really cool dance moves, but that's pretty much my entire boogie arsenal.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia
