Papercuts

For over two decades, I have embarked on a relentless quest to discover this vast, intricate world. My journey has taken me far beyond my birthplace in California, to the bustling streets of Manila, vibrant Hong Kong, Taipei, Shanghai, Sydney, Mumbai, Hannover, and back to dynamic Hong Kong Throughout my travels, I have had the extraordinary opportunity to immerse myself in some of the globe's most fascinating locales, often during pivotal moments. I spent a year living with an aboriginal tribe in the remote Northern Philippines and another year in the slums of Manila, gaining insights into lives vastly different from my own. My adventures in Nepal included being tracked by a Bengal tiger for four intense days and nights through the dense jungle. China, Myanmar, and Vietnam have also left their indelible marks on me, as did my time in Cambodia, where I navigated the post-Pol Pot era with the protection of 16 bodyguards. And then there's India-a land of unparalleled magic and mystery. As a keen observer of people, places, and events, I strive to transport readers into the heart of my experiences through vivid writing. Whether it's the depths of Nepalese jungles or the vibrant nightlife of Wanchai, Hong Kong, my goal is to make every story come alive
