CURRENT MISSION

To not so boldly go where many tourists have gone before!

ABOUT ME

A typical Cancerian with a love for staying at home and well within my comfort zone, I feel the need to challenge my tiny tiny boundaries and get out into the world. So I'm doing a solo tour around Europe with a few occasional forays into Africa which has been somewhat confronting as a young, Asian female that doesn't speak the native language most of the time.

I think of myself as a geeky wallflower, though I love talking to people and learning their stories. I'm not too into seeing the sights so much as living in a place a few days at a time and absorbing the differences.

People tell me I view life on a bit of a different slant. I think that just makes it more interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

To see what there is to see, to trust beyond all shadow of a doubt, to live life as open and willing as possible. To forgive even when hurt and to never shut myself off from new experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched the sun rise over the curve of the earth from the plane window and thought about how crazy it was to be so high to experience such a thing, how commonplace it is these days to fly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English in Japan for a year, I can knit exceptionally fast, I play the piano, I love random trivia and the knowing of things. Scientist by education and inclination, I think the world is beautiful and love to know and share my knowledge of how it works.
