CURRENT MISSION

I don't know but i'm down to find out

ABOUT ME

The "where are you from" question is always a bit hard. My nationality is from USA. My heritage is a japanese italian european mix bag. I was born in LA, and as an adult lived in Portland, Oregon and New York.

I take just about every adventure I can get. If there's water nearby, I'll get in it. I love live music and art shows.

I spent the last 7 months in SE Asia, most of which was volunteering and doing dive training at a marine conservation center. I did art most of my life and now hope to do something to help the ocean. Like many a broke traveler, I am going to Australia in hopes of work and wonders.

PHILOSOPHY

The wind rises, you might as well live.
