About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see where my curiosity takes me!

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent graduate of Boston University, where I studied journalism, Spanish and Latin American studies. I've been wanderlusting for as long as I can remember, my first big trip being to Sevilla, Spain when I was 16 to visit my sister when she was studying abroad there. I love meeting people, sharing old stories and new experiences, and learning about the world.
