CONTACT US Travel & LanguageEver since moving away to Seattle for college, I have been infatuated with travel and adventuring outside my comfort zone. I have a thirst for culture and a desire to learn from the world. My travels have brought me to most of Western Europe and a few countries in Asia so far, but I hope to one day explore the rest of the world.Along with travel, I have a strong interest in linguistics. This prompted me to learn how to read Japanese カタカナ and ひらがな, Korean 한글, and Simplifed Chinese 简体字. I practice with pronunciation in these languages each day and am interested in continuing my language studies for the rest of my life. HikingDo not get me wrong, I am a total city boy. Though sometimes it feels great to just get out of the city and enjoy the nature that surrounds us. It makes me feel like I am getting back to basics, and it is an exhilaration that cannot be replaced. I used to hike at Red Rock National Park about 40 minutes outside of Las Vegas when I was in high school, but I have begun to explore other sites in the Northwest such as Mt. Si near Northbend. I am always looking for new places to explore, and I am open to any advice or recommendations from any avid hikers out there. © Paul Boupha 2009 | All human and animal rights carefully reserved and preserved.
