I'm a huge fan of learning new things, and it's become something of my life philosophy to keep an open mind. Ever since I graduated college, traveling has been my outlet for knowledge. There is so much to love about traveling, but my favorite thing has always been meeting new people. Exchanging stories and philosophies in one of those magical late-night conversations where the world stops turning makes my soul happy. I'm always honest and occasionally outspoken. In college, I won an award for "best shoulder to cry on" and I think being a middle sister will do that to you. I've been living outside the US for almost a year now. When people ask me how I did it, how I got the courage to travel on my own, I tell them it would have been harder to stay in one place.
