Travel
Exploring remote coastlines, mountain towns, and night markets. I chase places that have a pulse after midnight.
The Map Is Never Done
I keep a running list of places I want to visit — a Notion doc with pinned locations, notes from friends, and screenshots from Google Maps of interesting coastlines I've spotted. The list grows faster than I can travel.
Favorite Places
Taiwan's East Coast — the stretch between Hualien and Taitung. Black sand beaches, dramatic cliffs dropping into the Pacific, and night markets that stay open until 2am.
Kyoto's Northern Mountains — Kurama to Kibune in autumn. The trail follows a stream up through cedar forests and small shrines. In November the maples turn electric red.
Iceland's South Coast — waterfalls that appear every few kilometers, black volcanic beaches at Vik, and glacier lagoons where icebergs wash ashore.
Travel Style
I travel light — one bag, one camera. No itineraries beyond the first night's accommodation. The best experiences come from wandering without a plan: getting lost in a night market, finding a hidden beach, talking to strangers at a bar.
Why
Travel resets my creative defaults. New environments force new ways of seeing, and that carries over into my work. Some of my best shader ideas came from staring at ocean waves or watching light move through a forest canopy.
