My parents immigrated to the US around 1980, and I was born in LA. I was raised in Hacienda Heights (San Gabriel Valley) and attended UC Riverside with a major in Cultural Anthropology, minor in Philosophy. Truth be told, I did not know what I wanted to do after graduation as the hobbies I had did not seem to be money-making careers. When I graduated college, all I wanted to do was Travel the World after reading books like Leaving Microsoft to Change the World" & "Eat Pray Love". I was willing to work any job to achieve this dream of traveling.
