About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living, loving, laughing.

ABOUT ME

I currently live in China and really enjoy my life here. I'd be willing to share my space with new friends and would be excited to learn about others.

PHILOSOPHY

Just love

Music, Movies, and Books

One of the best parts of being human is reading a novel in bed. Any well-written novel is a gift. My music tastes are ecclectic (from Beyonce to Vampire Weekend, via Amos Lee and Tracy Chapman) and my favorite movie is Forrest Gump.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've made friends and family on five continents.

Teach, Learn, Share

Borders are arbitrary and all the world is our family.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, China, Croatia, France, Gambia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Turkey, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, Senegal, United States
