CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people who like to travel, and gear up for the next big adventure!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in New York City (part time in Manhattan, part time in the Bronx). Went to college/grad school in Oberlin, Ohio.
I have 3 siblings whom I love quite a lot.
I used to be really, really, really shy...and now not so much anymore.
I have double-jointed thumbs.
Trying to calm my itchy feet for the moment, but keeping an eye out for the next big adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

I love most things, especially meeting new people. I try to live with as few regrets as possible- every experience so far has had it's worth.
