About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Collect a unique souvenir (e.g. photograph of an unusual scene, an awesome map, cool bracelet) from every city I visit.

ABOUT ME

I'm terrible with spontaneity and stepping out of my comfort zone, but I try my best. I love the anonymity of walking through a new city. I love being wowed by all the beautiful architecture and great food in a new city. I love walking and walking until my feet are killing me, but I forget how tired I am the moment I find a breathtakingly gorgeous place I can spend a while trying to capture with my camera (with the terrible kit lens).

I love reading and I love eating. If you can show me a book cafe with the best desserts and coffee, I'll be there forever.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm pretty open-minded and accepting of most things and people.

Interests

Teach, Learn, Share

Invest in a good bottle of surface cleaner - no stain is too tough.
If you're going to microwave that bowl of tomato sauce, put a lit on it.
Always research before you start exploring - yes, spontaneity is good, but hopeless if you don't even know what's so awesome about that city.

I want to learn how to talk to an absolute stranger. Like how do you even start?!
