CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience as much as I possibly can

ABOUT ME

I never know what to say about myself on these things. I'm sometimes introverted, but also adventurous and outgoing. I am a pretty goofy person in general, whether or not it happens to be on purpose. I make a lot of puns, so there's that.

PHILOSOPHY

"A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once while I looking for a bathroom in Myanmar, I accidentally went off track and into a tiny little village in the woods where a full moon party was taking place. The people I intruded on were shocked that a foreigner just emerged from the woods but they invited me to hang out with them anyways. I ended up dancing like maniac with a bunch of Burmese kids for a good hour, drinking homemade hooch from a water bottle, and chatting with the locals.

Also, I taught English in Korea for a year! I lived in a small town not too far from the North Korean border. It was an interesting experience to say the least :)
