I travel because I’m chasing that sense of “awe” that I think should be a part of your everyday life :)

I’m open to meeting anyone! However, I get along best with those who are endlessly curious, authentically themselves, and good storytellers.

Interests

I spent 10 years studying with a renowned artist so I’m attracted to many creative pursuits like architecture, photography, and contemporary arts.

I fall in love with every dog I meet.

Obsessed with food, and I respect those who know how to eat.

Music, Movies, and Books

AUTHORS
Ocean Vuong, Alain de Botton for contemporary philosophy, Junot Diaz, lots more! Currently reading up on secular Buddhism from books by Stephen Batchelor

MOVIES
Any nature documentary narrated by David Attenborough, Jordan Peele films, I cried like a baby in Moonlight, and I love horror. In TV, I like terrible reality TV, Rick + Morty, and anything food-travel related.

MUSIC
Really into emerging subgenres like cloud rap and future ghetto but also more established subgenres like alt r+b or 90s r+b. Also enjoy hip hop, deep house, trance, etc
