I have been living in Washington, DC since January 2016 after backpacking through Asia and Europe. Before that, I spent two years living and volunteering in Southwest China as an English teacher for an organization called Peace Corps. I love meeting new people and getting to know them over meaningful conversation with beers of course. I am a heavy listener but can also be a talker especially if it's a hot topic in my book. Music makes the world go round so if you like music, I like you. I'm up for anything from concerts to swimming to hiking. One thing I have learned from traveling is as humans we are all connected in some way. It's just opening your mind and eyes enough to realize the similarities that bring us together as global citizens.
