Im currently studying at Minerva KGI schools. Through this University I will study and live in South Korea, India, Germany, Argentina, UK and Taiwan in the next three years. Originally from the Midwest but (obviously) not there now - hope to host couch-surfers when I have a more permanent address. :) Love hiking, running and learning languages!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I summit-ted Mount Fuji for sunrise. I started hiking as the sun set and made it to the top right in time for sunrise. Absolutely amazing.

I have also ran a half marathon in Istanbul that started on the Asian continent and ended on the European continent.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach Mandarin, Turkish, Spanish... to those interested. :) I am always interesting in learning more languages and getting to know the neighborhood Im staying in.

I love running, hiking, playing tennis, yoga, badminton, dancing or just working out. Happy to lead or join workouts :)
