About
안녕하세요! My name is Arnold (상인). I am from the beautiful city of Vancouver [the unceded xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) territory]. I spent most of my childhood outside riding my BMX, playing Nintendo, and being told to come home before dark. I grew up during the dawn of the Internet and built websites about my favourite car, the Ferrari 512 TR, and my favourite hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks. Some adventures I've been on in my life include walking on the Great Wall of China, visiting the Korean DMZ, snowboarding in Japan, camping and surfing in Tofino, exploring the beaches of Australia, and driving around Scotland. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, riding my bike, watching K-dramas, and reading philosophy.
I am passionate about nature and the IMAX film, Extreme, has been influential in my life. It is an ode to Mother Nature.
