CURRENT MISSION

To live by the Girl Scout law!

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Danielle, but I pretty much only go by Dani. I'm 24 years old and originally from Florida. Currently, I am teaching English in South Korea. Before that, I was working in New York as a barista; before that, I was working in London at an events planning company. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts (cum laude!) in English and a Bachelor of Science in Journalism. I have always loved to write but have only recently gotten into photography. I have insatiable wanderlust. I sleep best when it rains. I teach, but hate, children.
