CURRENT MISSION

Looking to be a polite guest in the home of someone of a different culture than myself

ABOUT ME

I am open minded, easy going, and a big people person. I am quite active and love running, cycling, hiking, museums, shopping, and going out dancing. I am horrible at just sitting and enjoying a movie. I traveled quite a bit last year and am eager to do so more. Am currently a business major and am looking to work in investing . I love NYC but am eager to move to another country soon. I am a very determined person and a hard worker. I love ethnic food, all kinds of music, good wine, the slow drip method of coffee, and other fancy things.

PHILOSOPHY

Take care of the luxuries and the necesseties will take care of themselves. -Dorothy Parker

AMEN. AMEN.

I live because life is here. I pray to God everyday thanking him for protecting me and my loved ones, giving me great experiences, and more importantly giving me the opportunity to do what I want to. I dont take for granted all the wonderful opportunity I'm given - and am so thankful for each day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aupairing in the Netherlands. The people I have met from NL and abroad made me love the country and pursue an interest in one day making a life there. The other cultures I was exposed me made me open my mind to how big yet small the world truly is- and to count my blessings for how I was raised.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show everyone that all Americans aren't ignorant, arrogant, and un educated obese citizens. We are rather lovely people. Just like any country- some people will represent it well- and others won't.
