CURRENT MISSION

I want to figure out how to explain complicated subjects to people who either don't have the time, interest or ability to understand on their own.

ABOUT ME

My friends might say that I'm "dtg" (down to go) in just about every circumstance even when there are papers, exams or other deadlines hanging over my head. Generally, I have a calming influence on people, which may be why I've been a frequent travel companion. They might also mention some of my idiosyncrasies such as asking weird questions like, "what shape is your soul?" or having novel methods of salutation such as "love, peace and hair grease".

PHILOSOPHY

Do what feels right.

兴趣

Stories. In every place, I've always met someone with a unique story, one that I can relate to, but have never lived myself. In general, I'm not a big pictures guy, nor do I write very much when I travel, but when I hear a poignant story it stays with me and comes alive every time I'm reminded of it and retell it to others.
