CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel as much as possible before graduating. I would also like to attend rock concerts in other countries.

ABOUT ME

It's a rare occasion that I'm not having a good day.
I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and learning about different cultures. I would love to travel to Africa someday and continue my anthropological studies at the Nelson Mandala University.

PHILOSOPHY

These 2 quotes have inspired me to continue on expanding my knowledge of other cultures and to believe that we all have the potential to make a difference in our communities:

"Life is a process of ongoing challenge. Those who lead lives of boundless challenge realize boundless growth. In a time of tumultuous change, what people need most are the vitality to challenge their circumstances, the wisdom to open the treasure house of knowledge, and to strive ceaselessly to create value." -Daisaku Ikeda

"Do not speak falsely for you are great; do not act lightly for you have weight; be not untrue for you are the balance (scales of justice) and do not swerve for you are the standard." -[Book of] Khunanup

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfing! I can't believe I lived in Los Angeles for 18 years and it wasn't until I moved to San Francisco that I had the guts to try it with a friend. Best experience by far... until I remembered that I fear of drowning in the ocean....
