CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, one couch at a time.

ABOUT ME

I'm a half-French half-Cambodian Japanese loving American who speaks with a slight Singaporean accent. I grew up travelling a lot, and thus have a pretty international point of view. It's been awesome meeting with people from all kinds of different cultures and backgrounds, and I'm now excited to be located in the U.S, at least for a while.
Here's a little map of places I've lived in/visited previously:
visited 13 states (5.77%)

I'm quite a hardcore gamer. Not the kind that just says "WTFYEAHNEWGAMESAAHAHHH" while ripping open a Diablo III box set (well, I -kinda- did that), but the kind that actually has an interest in the evolution of the gaming market and technologies, some of which I help fund on Kickstarter. This is an awesome time for networking, both online and offline - and I hope to fulfill more of that offline side of things here through couchsurfing.

PHILOSOPHY

Pareto's law (a.k.a the 80/20 principle) is the key to living a fulfilled life of learning.
