About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To seek novel experiences

ABOUT ME

I'm a recently-graduated university student from the University of Washington. I studied Physics and began to delve into Mathematics in my last year. I've had a little bit of traveling experience by myself, in Japan, Southeast Asia, and now in China. Before that I mostly traveled within the United States, but also in Asia, Europe, and Africa. Right now I'm in the middle of pursuing my other passion, which is studying languages.

PHILOSOPHY

Less consumerism.
