CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible before it becomes one continuous megamall

ABOUT ME

Having just finished my undergraduate education, I was facing the prospect of having no immediate plans when along came the opportunity to go to Italy to study all manner of artisanal glass-working...so obviously I took it, debt be damned and here I am in Bolzano, scrimping my way through 15 months of learning to work with the most awesome material. Also, I have a mission to acquire a Hungarian zither, because by golly, do I miss playing them.
Also, I have a fondness for swing sets, long skirts and ocean waves.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave the world more beautiful than you found it. Take pleasure in little things. Have as many moments of perfect contentedness as possible.
