About Me

Santa Monica native and perpetual student who can't spend enough time outdoors...or drink enough coffee. i live in flip flops and can't stand shoes. i desperately need to travel more, and spend more time hiking, rock climbing, taking photos...of course, i'm procrastinating, so i'll add more soon...

"If I'm pessimistic, then the adults of the world who are not pessimistic are a bunch of idiots." -- The Wind-up Bird Chronicle. H Murakami
