Liver.

Livi Lu.

Liv.

I’m 24 years old.

I love waking up early. I find mushrooms and birds to be fascinating. I thrive in fast paced environments and feed off of change. I love learning, and finding new ways to navigate life. I love Chinese food, and despise lukewarm coffee.

And that’s just my dating profile summary.

I’m a writer, and find my material in the living world. I aspire to find a creative avenue in this life. I hope to study the natural world, and find ways to convey my not-so-traditional lifestyle in words, film, and visual art.

I’m young, and despite living in a world that feels like it’s deteriorating at its seams, I still have a lust for life I can’t ignore.

When I first made this blog, I wrote in my about page of how I would travel the world for 6 months. I have been living in New Zealand for almost 2 years.

A whole lot has changed from my first blog post, but I hope that when the dust settles I will have an understanding and compassion for people all over the world.

And with that stillness, find the right words to share it with you.
