About Me

I like to wander the streets alone in an unfamiliar place.

Once in a while, I enjoy deep conversations, typically one-on-one, about the purpose of life, self development and other lingering, meandering thoughts.

I am on an adventure to find creative freedom. Maybe that will involve living out of a suitcase and travelling the world with a sketchbook :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books that moved me to tears: Cereus Blooms at Night by Shani Mootoo and Blankets by Craig Thompson.

Books that inspire: The Happiness of Pursuit by Chris Guillebeau.

Currently obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, anything from Studio Ghibli and Amanita Design, and The Dream Machine (which is a stop motion claymation video game).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting my day job to pursue a career based on my passions. But that's not really the amazing thing. It's the domino effect of taking full responsibility for myself and every facet of life (relationships, health, personal development, happiness etc. )

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn how other people are living their passions/dreams - either fully or on-the-side.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am friendly, easy-going, clean, respectful and open-minded. I would love some company in exploring new places but I'm also perfectly happy flying solo :)

Countries I’ve Visited

China, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, China, United States
