I enjoy staying active by doing anything the call of adventure takes me. I especially love backpacking, scuba diving, and tennis. I was once in a Tae-Kwon-Do commerical when I was younger.
When I'm a couch potato, I enjoy video games, movies, or binge watching shows. My favorite games include Tapper, Stardew Valley, and the Assasin's Creed series.
Traveling to broaden experiences and one's understanding of the world is crucial to me. I've previously lived abroad in Shanghai, China and Taipei, Taiwan.
