I used to be a very introverted person, however, after my exchange in Thailand over the fall, I have found that I really enjoy meeting people and talking to people and making connections all over the world. I have never traveled solo before but I’m ready to try. I try to be as authentic as I can even if it feels vulnerable at first. I feel like with sites such as these and travelling in general, these are traits that will help me connect with people easier than if I were to remain closed-off and uncomfortable. I am ready to be uncomfortable so that I can grow. I also really enjoy [low-effort] outdoorsy stuff (hiking, kayaking, hammocking...) and finding new movies, TV shows, and ideas! More about me: I really like to write, though I definitely don't as often as I should. One of my overarching goals in life is to write a book. I feel this connects well with meeting people and going new places because that is essentially where stories come from. I love animals so very pet friendly.
