sal was initially thrilled when his father informed the family that they were leaving perth, australia for the states. however, the expectations of relocating did not meet reality once landing in costa mesa. at the age of 11, it proved more difficult than he imagined. cultural barriers, lifestyles, and his own quirks prevented him from the experience he originally wanted. the struggle to adjust carried on for a few weeks before he found his footing in orange county. that experience of moving countries taught him the true essence of adaptation, a skill he strives to further develop.
to this day, sal remains a proponent of animal rights, environmentalism and ecology. now a college undergrad at the uci, he's found his footing, a great group of friends who respect his need for isolation when he wants to connect to the earth, professors he can gel well with, and a major (environmental science) that he has an undying passion for. he doesn't always have his priorities set out straight, working on his own schedule that conflicts with the world's.
post-college, he's off to travel the world, find himself and if not, then get closer.
