ABOUT ME

Hi My Name is Caitlin Gangi. I am a junior at Villanova Univeristy in the USA studying Modern European History. Right now, I am studying abroad in Granada, Spain practicing my Spanish and getting to know some amazing people here. I am having such an amazing experience in Europe; I have been to Paris, Rome, around Spain, and I have also spent 5 days in Morocco. I am 21 years old originally from 20 minutes North of Boston, MA, USA. I want to teach high school history because my high school history teacher inspired me and made me fall in love with the subject, and I would ultimately like to have that same affect on my students. I love being outdoors instead of cramped inside all of the time. I really enjoy adventuring in new cities and experiencing all they have to offer. I rather hear what the locals have to say about the city then any tour guide book or website! I like meeting new people! Back home in the USA I like to have my share of nights home with a movie, popcorn, and a bottle of wine. However, I thoroughly enjoy to go out with friends. A good night would be going out to a local bar with a live band where I can dance around with my girl friends. I love going to the movies and dining out.I like to try new foods and having new experiences! I love Chinese, Italian, and Lebanese food but when ever I am in a new city, I like to try local grub:) Summer and fall are my favorite seasons. I love to spend my summers going to concerts and spending time at the beach and getting beach pizza or by the pool with my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

"People don't get it. He didn't even have a fuckin' map; what kind of idiot? THAT was the point. There's no blank spots on the map anymore, anywhere on earth. If you want a blank spot on the map, you gotta leave the map behind." - Jon Krakauer

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs,
ask yourself what makes you come alive,
and then go do that.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
-Harold Thurman Whitman

"The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences."- Jon Krakauer
