About Brien Feathers

Shorter is sweeter, right? So here is my story in a single take. I was born in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia at the tail end of communism. It was a time of rationed food and long lines, but it was also a time when people used to be kinder to each other.  

Then off I went to Seoul, South Korea for high school, managing to live there for four years without learning the language. It’s a shame. But at the time, I was a teenager attending an American school, and trying to learn one language proved to be hard enough for me.

Dallas, Texas, the Lone Star State is where I infamously flunked out of a semi-prestigious university. I think I ruined the Asian reputation by not being good at math. For the next decade, I roamed around the United States before finally finishing my degree, not in the States, but in Singapore. It’s accounting, by the way, my degree.

Now I work not as an accountant, shockingly, and live where I started from— Mongolia. This time around though, I’ve made it a home for myself. As tired and old as the saying is, life truly is a journey. And since you’re reading this, we’re voyaging together.
