ABOUT ME

I'm fairly laid-back, a language person, and a bit of a politics buff. I enjoy the independence of travel and the company of a good friend. I get homesick every now and then, but I find it helps to develop a bond with the spaces around me.

PHILOSOPHY

There's (almost) no such thing as normal. Cultural and intellectual diversity craft vibrant and interesting conversations that force us to experience life in a way we haven't before.
