CURRENT MISSION

Since this is my first time in Europe, I want to be able to see as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

It does seem a bit weird to describe myself. I mean how objective can one be about that? Anyways, here goes:

I tend to be a bit of an introvert, though I'm generally a laid-back and friendly person. I come from a loud family so maybe my calmer demeanor is my way of making up for that :)
Most of my friends say I'm a pretty diplomatic person and as a traveler I try to be as flexible as possible.

Right now I'm participating in a year-long study abroad program through an exchange between the California State University system and Baden-Württemberg. I live in a university town called Tübingen about 30 mins south of Stuttgart. This is my first time in Europe, in fact my first time on a different continent, and I want to be able to explore as much as possible, hopefully meeting interesting people in the process.

I don't know and you don't either, but let's enjoy as much of this life as we can!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since unfortunately I live in a small dorm room I wouldn't quite be able to host someone, I'm definitely willing to show people the town I'm living in. I'm really open about my experiences living in the States and would be glad to share some of that culture.
