Hi there! My name is Saj, I'm soon to be 28, and I love to explore the world, both through travel and through my creative work. I grew up moving around the world and consider myself to be quite multicultural as those experiences have really shaped who I am.

Aside from that, I'm an amateur watercolour painter and sculptural artist. I like experimenting with colour and texture. And since I play DnD (and other board games), I enjoy making my own replicas and props for them.

When I'm not creating art, you’ll probably find me hiking and camping - I am a total sucker for anything outdoors. I used to spend a lot of time exploring the forests and hiking trails near my house in NZ, though I've had less opportunities to be in nature since I moved to SL :( So, I'm always down to touch some grass and marvel at how pretty the trees and moss are.

I also love to cook and can whip up some pretty delicious meals from all sort of cuisine. I make a great chicken curry (let me treat you!), and I'm always happy to teach and learn more about gastronomy.

I’m a little bit of an introvert when it comes to small talk, and it takes me a little bit of time to open up. My friends say I listen more than I speak, hehe, but if you get me started on psychology or philosophy or anything that's a "special interest", of which I have many, you'll quickly see the extroverted side of me.

Overall, I really enjoy connecting with people and sharing stories from different parts of the world. I try to treat people how I'd like to be treated (with kindness, and joy), and try to meet them where they are :)

音乐、电影和书籍

I listen to everything except high pitched techno / EDM. Currently hooked on alternative rock and country stuff. Lots of old-school rock and rap on my playlist as well :)

I don't have a lot of free time for movies, unfortunately, but I do indulge in horror / psych stuff when I can. Have you seen Pretty Things? That's been on my mind lately.

Oooh I like too many books to pick favourites, sorry :P

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Living and working in rural Uganda; running psychology clinics, doing farm work, and eating termites. It was an indescribable experience and I learnt more about life in those 3 months than I ever did in university.
