About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting lost..and find out how to pronounce "thank you" in korean correctly

ABOUT ME

I have been working as a research scientist at the University of Miami in Florida for 2 years. Recently, I decided that I wasn't being challenged enough by my job and just quit- now I'm running wild through Asia... trying to get lost.
I've spent a bunch of my time lately ocean kayaking and running. I love to climb...but its hard in Miami-> theres nothing natural above sea level. So I moved north....and here I am in Maryland :)

PHILOSOPHY

everything is going to be O.K.
