CURRENT MISSION

Do what feels right. Don't worry too much for money. Help others when I am able. Fall in love constantly.

ABOUT ME

My name is Zac.
I was born and raised in North Carolina, but now live in the Bay Area of California.
I'm a very friendly and open-minded person. I'm sure we'll get along.
I like new things and may be willing to try anything at least once.
I'm a very easy going person and can appear slightly shy at first, but love getting to know new people and having lots of long, deep, nerdy, inspiring conversations. I love going to really loud shows where you can dance a lot. Hiking through the wilderness. Climbing buildings. And running under the moon.
I'm currently a student at UC Berkeley studying Comparative Literature, Religious Studies, and Linguistics.

I don't really know how to describe myself and don't feel like listing characteristics does anyone justice. Let's just hang out and go on adventures together!
