About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue to see the whole world one bite at a time.

ABOUT ME

I've been in South Korea since 2008, finally finding a happy job for these past several years that lets me travel a month in the summer and a month in the winter.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you want to be treated. Exchange ideas to broaden your scope.
