CURRENT MISSION

See the world, understand myself, create a purpose in life

ABOUT ME

I'm 20 years old (though people guess me to be older) and from a small town in Wisconsin, USA. I am very interested in the world and learning about the people I share this earth with. I find peace in living in the moment, though I still like to plan for the future. I see myself as very friendly, and I love a good conversation (ranging from the weather to politics and anything in between) over coffee.

I am studying at Arcadia University near Philadelphia, PA. I am studying in Havana this spring and very excited to explore Cuba!

PHILOSOPHY

The world is ours, let's share it, enjoy it, and leave it a better place than we found it :)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I successfully found my way home in an unfamiliar Chinese city late at night, and communicated with taxi drivers whose language I barely spoke.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I would be happy to practice English with anyone, having a lot of experience with world languages and an interest in linguistics, I think I'd make a good teacher. I love to cook/bake, and would be glad to share recipes and dishes that I make. Also, I've lived in the USA for 20 years, I know what it's like here, and I'm happy to share that knowledge with anyone who's interested.
