CURRENT MISSION

To live life such that, when I'm very old, I regret nothing.

ABOUT ME

At the risk of sounding pretentious and lazy, I don't think I can describe myself in any definite terms - but we're all full of contradictions, aren't we? I'm 23, but I still feel 12. I love to travel, but have traveled little. I'm a pessimistic but irrepressible dreamer.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, be passionate, never fear to have an opinion, and seek to improve the world. Or don't.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once found myself hitch-hiking in Canada to receive medical attention for a broken finger. I ended up riding in the back of a pickup truck next to a recently deceased moose. Maybe not amazing, but both a bizarre and oddly formative experience.
