Currently traveling the world - 8 months and counting! So far I’ve been to Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, India, and Nepal. I’m planning on hopping around Europe next to watch World Cup matches :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I need recommendations! Haven’t quite figured out what I’m into yet besides American country music and chill house.

Movies - The Orphanage, the Babadook are some examples

Books - Too many! I recommend Shantaram for anyone who’s been to or been curious about India. Currently re-reading the Harry Potter series in Dutch

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked both the Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp/Three Passes Treks in Nepal. By far the most physically challenging adventure of my life, and 1000% worth it

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to converse in/practice Japanese. I grew up speaking it with my mom!
