Rome.. I found myself walking through the city alone, without money, without a phone. I only had a map, a water bottle, and a banana. It was a life changing moment to walk around an unfamiliar place with limited resources to get me through the day. I realized a lot about myself and have worked everyday to learn something new about society, the world, or myself. Many tears were shed that trip, but I became a better person because of it.

When I am not working I like to play beach volleyball and workout. I cross stitch and make fleece blankets for friends when I have an extended weekend. I also enjoy checking out new places. I try to get to out of my comfort zone and check cool new music venues, museums, and anything else that seems different than the norm.
