CURRENT MISSION Learn to Speak Arabic and Explore the Middle East ABOUT ME I'm obsessed with travel! My adventures abroad are, without a doubt, the best times of my life. Some of the most profound conversations I've had have been while travelling, often with people I had just met and haven't seen since. There's something intensely pure about going to new places and just digging into whatever comes your way. I have yet to find any other activity that is as rewarding, challenging, and (of course) FUN. Having my hand held through guided tours is not nearly as exciting for me as actually getting into the culture: speaking the language, meeting locals, learning the history, understanding the politics, and trying to wrap my my mind around the reality of a place. I'm full of energy and am willing to try anything once. I like facing my fears just for the fun of it. PHILOSOPHY Nothing is worth more than this day. Live it!
