Most of my blogging tends toward my travel experiences, and diversity in media, but I will also discuss my own creative pursuits, which are generally in the film, writing, and performance fields. I'm also an editor at Solarwyrm Press. Performance: improv, acting, stand-up comedy. Filmmaking: screenwriting, directing, video editing, short films, music videos. Writing: speculative fiction, memoir, short stories. Though I consider myself a citizen of the world, with how many places feel like home to me, I was born and raised in Australia, to American parents. I'm a dual-national of both countries, lived in Malaysia for five and a half years, and now live in the US.
I’ve got quite the backlog of posts I need to write, especially as this site was down for two weeks and I wasn’t able to do anything then (though admittedly it would’ve been hard to do so since I’m in the middle of travelling). The first post I want to make is to promote a … More Promoting Friends
My mum used to try and write a summary letter of our year around Christmas time, and send it along with Christmas cards to our family and friends back in the US.

I was actually quite keen to see everything … More Settling in to Life in Malaysia
I’ve been holding off posting anything new because I didn’t update about the latter part of my trip across Australia, and wanted to. I think I shall have to just write a summary of the last couple of months instead, for those not already in the know. After Adelaide, we drove on to Melbourne, where … More A Big Move
Hello from Adelaide! A few weeks ago, I sort of ‘spur of the moment’ decided that I needed something to change up my life a bit, and that I would do so by completing my ultimate Australian Outback adventure goal – to drive across the Nullarbor. Not only would I do that, but I’d drive … More Hello from Adelaide!
Sport has been a career option since ancient times and chariot racing, but what in the human complex has caused humans to be so fascinated with watching such activities, as opposed to more mental stimulation? In South Korea, they have turned playing video games into a celebrity affair, and the best gamers in the country … More Are Sporting Heroes Really Superior?
Warning: This post may contain controversial issues raised over a highly praised but deceased actor. Do not read if you think it may offend. 😛 I, like millions of others in the world, was anticipating The Dark Knight‘s release in cinemas. My reasoning was not however, as it may have been for countless others, because … More Oscar Hype for a Dead Actor
Another visit from a friend that has numerous food intolerances lends to an opportunity to invent another new recipe. Here’s a stunning dessert without any cow’s milk and also gluten free. Ingredients 2 bananas, peeled and cut into ~1cm slices 1 cup goat milk yoghurt 2 tsp vanilla essence 2 eggs 1 cup rice flour … More Gluten-free Banana Foam Cake
It’s the last day of May and I haven’t met my personal quota for posts made this month, so I thought I’d better think of something quick. One interest I’ve developed over the last few months that I never really thought I’d be particularly keen on is cooking. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been posting … More Cooking
