About Me

ABOUT ME

Peaceful but active. I've lived in Croatia, China, Italy, UK, but mostly the States (California). I'm finishing up my Master's degree in Human Rights in Venice and traveling around Europe before I head back to the Bay Area and attempt to be a real adult.

Update: Moved back to the Bay Area and got married. Not too bad living a satisfying life as an adult.

PHILOSOPHY

I aim to be content. Life is about balance.
