ABOUT ME

I'm currently living and studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. I study Global Peace and Security and Women's Studies at UC Santa Barbara. I love hanging out with friends, laughing, kissing, listening to music, eating good food, traveling, dressing up, swimming, reading, dancing, and making daisy chains. I'm an ENFP; I'm really easy going, friendly, happy and enjoy having a good time and good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

"To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." -Arundhati Roy
