Travel information

I am currently

Description

I work part-time as a mechanical engineer, and love to make things with my hands from wood or metal or paper, or whatever materials, sometimes useful, sometimes whimsical. I'm also passionate about bicycles, rock climbing, communal spirit, street food, interesting conversations, learning languages, and exploring all sorts of things. A current creative project of mine is turning a cargo-bike into a tiny mobile kitchen so I can serve tea and small food items in parks and other public areas around my city.

I currently live in Brooklyn, NY, where I rent a tiny art studio and regularly like to see music, attend talks, bike around, try new foods, see art, and many other cultural activities.
