I like to think I'm a pretty chill person. I lived in Singapore for a few years most recently before moving to Paris, after having spent the last 13 years in the US, first in New York, then California. Each place has influenced the way I look at the world in some way.

I enjoy a good debate, as long as it's intelligent. I'm adamantly nonreligious, but I am fully willing to talk about religion and hear different perspectives on it.
