CURRENT MISSION

Hunting for the world's greatest gazebo.

ABOUT ME

I am a college student from California who loves getting to know all sorts of different people and learning about their lives and experiences. I enjoy sharing a good laugh with friends and exploring new places, reading and having deep conversations, and eating delicious food! I'm studying at Oxford University at the moment, and exploring Europe every chance I get.

PHILOSOPHY

I love people!

Interests

I am always reading a book (usually fiction).
I enjoy indie music and appreciate good lyrics.
Food is the greatest thing in the world. I want to eat all of it. And milkshakes and smoothies.
I like talking to people about their personal beliefs and experiences.
I think gazebos are super cool.
I always carry a deck of cards just in case!

Everything fascinates me, the trick is finding time to study it all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As an eleven-year-old blond boy, a Chinese girl in neon green grabbed my hand and ran up the Great Wall of China with me, then kissed my cheek after. I felt like a winner.
