CURRENT MISSION

Expanding my worldview through our adventures.

ABOUT ME

We go into a new experience with our best guess at how happy it's going to make us, that's really all we can do. So now it's time to not settle but harness existing resources and mental capacity to make it more than you originally intended it.

Taught English and Special Education through the JET programme and Teach For America Before. Currently am working on a number of soul-searching art projects. Grew up as a teenager in Iowa; raised as a girl in Fuzhou, China. I've got a constant craving for meaningful conversations. Hit me up from right-brain directed activities first.

PHILOSOPHY

Aim to play at work, not work to play. Play a few seconds more than I did the second before.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I once had my heart broken over that mother fucking Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and do not want to go back for more. Farewell.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I learned to pee standing up; I've slacked off since doing it intoxicated last time.

I recently dreamt about committing assisted suicide with four other completely strange women in old age but chickened out after realizing the intense pain of slow burning.

Did you know that there is more to just simple revelation of self repressed emotions via dreams analyzation? I have a few theories that I can maybe string together on the spot if you really want to challenge me.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Interested in discovering different sub-culture scenes, uncharted territories, abandoned sites in the potential form of DIY bike kitchens, studios/galleries/kitchens that welcome live collaboration and sensory illusions.

Share your favorite invisible matter with me if you want me to remember you always.

In return, you'll feel a boost of liveliness and optimism at my best, anxiety and irritation at her worse.

I take great pleasure in discovering and inventing new Natto recipes. My boss recently challenged me to make my own natto if I buy the Natto Kin. Next challenge!

-I'm a daily Natto-Raw Egg-Rice.
-My favorite is Natto Bitter Melon & Natto Doria thus far.
-Recent inventions/discoveries: Natto Doria, Natto Raw Squid, Natto Spud, Natto Sesame Salad.
-Natto-on-the-go recommendations: sesame oil & mustard, mayonnaise, sesame dressing, etc.
