About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take advantage of my youth. I'm free to travel and experience new cultures, so that is what I would like to do. Meet new people, learn new things, and love the life I have.

ABOUT ME

I'm a funloving American living in Spain, for the second time. I fell in love with this country when I studied here two years ago and knew I had to come back after graduating from college. I love meeting new people, even though I'm shy at first. I've been to quite a few places but the world is HUGE! And there is so much more I would love to see and experience before life gets too real :) I live in a small town in Spain which most people don't usually travel to but would love to meet anyone within my immediate area!

PHILOSOPHY

Viva, Ame y Nunca Olivde (Live, Love and Never forget)
Life is too short to regret the things you've done and to never do the things you know you'll regret never experiencing.
Traveling is like going to school, but more fun.

Interests

Traveling of course :) Sports, Reading, Movies, Languages, Having fun!, Cooking/Baking, Learning (always learning), New cultures, Meeting new people..Really I'm interested in almost anything! Give me a little information and I'll probably have a million questions to ask you! I'm a curious kinda girl!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - Anything Will Farrel (yes, I'm one of those Americans, he is so funny!). I love a good comedy! And like most girls, I'm a sucker for a cheezy chick flick if I'm in the mood for it.
Music - My iTunes is probably too diverse to generalize. I listen to a wide variety of music. Rap, Hip-hop, Classic rock, Punk/Pop Rock, Country, Alternative, Indie, Dance, Spanish..So much more!
Books - Pride & Prejudice is probably my favorite. Harry Potter, nerdy, I know. John Grisham books. The Lincoln Lawyer. Really anything that captivates me instantly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While at school I worked for a nonprofit law firm, that in itself was an amazing experience. Helping people who had no where else to go was probably one of the most rewarding feelings ever.
While traveling, I took a hike in the mountains close to Marrakech and I will never forget how beautiful the mountains or waterfalls were. Neither will I ever forget the people I've met in all my journeys. Also while in Morocco, we took a last minute roadtrip which is probably one of the highlights of my life. Thanks Chris and Amanda!! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

It's hard to say what I could teach others. I've been to a few places and I've experienced some things others haven't, but that doesn't necessarily make me qualified to teach others. Any questions people have about my culture or anywhere I've been, I'm willing to answer to the best of my abilities. Personally, there is so much I would love to learn. The particulars of cultures I've never been exposed to before, all languages, how to cook important meals from all over the world! Cooking/baking is one of my favorite past times, it would be amazing to say I learned how to cook a traditional dish in the countries I've visited.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Spain, United States
