الاهتمامات: I've been living and working throughout Eastern Asia for about the past 20 years in the fields of education, nightlife, entertainment, and media editing. From Canada to China, Korea to Indonesia, I've toured around as a professional DJ for 20 years. During my adventures, I worked as an English teacher for 11 years (in Canada, China, Japan, and online), built and ran a craft cocktail lounge, brewery, and distillery for 5 years (in Xiamen, China), and currently work remotely as an English media editor & localization expert for online news about Web3 development and video game storyboards.
I really enjoy nature and the sea, from hiking to diving, riding motorbikes to sailing. At home, I enjoy taking care of my dog, four cats, and two beehives, as well as crafting mead and rum, sitting zazen daily, and practicing bushcraft. I have a deep love of philosophy (especially Buddhism and Daoism), meditation, history, and traditional crafts.
