About the Author

Liquid Druid is R. Luis Flores.  He is in his mid-30s and has lived most of his life in Quezon City (Philippines).  He’s been a guidance counselor, a law student, a researcher, a government employee, a call center agent, and a registered securities representative at various points in his life.  He’s currently an editor and is trying to learn español for both personal and professional reasons.  He is single for the most part and is sincerely relieved that his younger brother got married ahead of him.

Since 2008, he has engaged himself in the twin hobbies of photography and traveling.  He has yet to enroll in a formal photography class and has largely managed through self-study of online readings and by getting tips from experienced photographers.  He fancies himself a purist and absolutely refuses to edit his shots for whatever reason.

As far as traveling goes, he prefers the mountains over the beaches and travels solo occasionally.  He has yet to learn to: (1) pack light; and (2) not look too much like a tourist.  Before any trip, he always prepares a meticulous checklist of the items he needs to bring …but manages to forget one item in the list each time.  He thinks dry sacks are the most important travel accessories ever invented.

He loves cats and is a big Steely Dan fan.
