ABOUT ME

i love life. my motto for this summer: no bad developments just unplanned opportunities for new experiences - yea, i admit it's a little verbose - i'm open to suggestions;) i'm starting my european adventure studying history in athens in june thru the end of july then backpacking around for 6 weeks. i'm most excited to spend 2 weeks in croatia meeting my extended family for the first time and seeing where my papa was born and raised.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent the last two summers working in one of the most awesome places, in my opinion, in the world. Well, at least in the states, anyway - Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. I love working in the mountains, they really do get in your blood - I'm addicted. I'm not the type of person who really gets homesick, but when I do, it's for these mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and love learning new methods and recipes. As far as what I can teach, hmmmm, I've been studying Arabic for a little while so I suppose I could teach you the alphabet and basic phrases, verbs, etc...
