About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn French and eat everything.

ABOUT ME

Curious college student. Head in the clouds with too much theory. Food lover.

PHILOSOPHY

Never pass on dessert.

"Thrown into a vast open sea with no navigation charts and all the marker buoys sunk and barely visible, we have only two choices left: we may rejoice in the breath-taking vistas of new discoveries - or we may tremble out of fear of drowning."
Zygmunt Bauman
