Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see Europe and experience the culture, learn about the history of western civilization, and see the amazing artworks and architecture.
ABOUT ME
I am a fun loving, adventurous girl who loves to take risks and live on the edge. I love intellectual conversation and learning from others. I can often be found reading books such as the Count of Monte Cristo (my favorite book), because I love the intricate plot. In fact I love complicated things, like the NYC subway system. I consider getting lost part of the journey. I thrive on change and am not too fond of routine. Right now I am just enjoying my youth and lack of responsibilities.
PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy is as follows: You should live your life according to your own moral standards and not by the laws that goverment systems have set for their own benefit. That is not to say that all laws are not in the best interest of society, but I believe that those laws are already instilled in the people. I also believe that you should not regret your past but learn from it, and if a lesson has come from a mistake then it was not in vain. Consequently, I intend to live my life as freely as possible, and not feel restrained by social conforms.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
