CURRENT MISSION

To be mindful, engaged, and meet others across the globe in order to broaden my experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm a native San Franciscan who has spent extensive both living and traveling abroad. Having gained a number of ex-pat friends overseas, I'm constantly eager to meet foreigners and trade life experiences.

I think people would describe me as funny, sincere, and a someone who appreciates a great conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Simply to reflect and grow to whatever degree possible. Try to keep in mind that everything is in flux and all things pass (despite how you're feeling in the moment). I find it hard to take my own advice sometimes, but I strive to achieve it.

Zainteresowania

I'm an avid hiker and enjoy escaping outdoors and exploring the trails of Northern California. I lived in Japan for two years and try to immerse myself in other cultures to whatever degree possible. I've made it a point to travel extensively in the last few years (Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, Peru, etc...)and will continue the trend this year by traveling to Nairobi, Kenya for my best friend's wedding. My other hobbies include reading (fiction, mainly) and performing stand-up comedy.
