CURRENT MISSION

Live a good life.

ABOUT ME

Well first of all, I am crazy about traveling and exploring the world. I love going to places I've never been. I love meeting new people, learning about other cultures, eating vegetarian food, drinking good beer and wine, going to shows, dancing, reading, hanging out with friends. I'm also into the outdoors, biking, rafting, hiking, music festivals, and generally anything fun, exciting, or different.

I have travelled extensively throughout North & South América, Europe, and Asia. I spent a year traveling with an international non-profit organization, living with host families and doing community service. I studied abroad in Santander, España.

PHILOSOPHY

音乐、电影和书籍

I like all kinds of music, but I love anything I can dance to. Also, I love 80s music.

I also love to read many books, but a couple that I've read more than once are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Geography of Bliss by Eric Wiener. They inspire me to travel. I also like funny books by authors like Chelsea Handler and David Sedaris.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Traveled for a year in a multicultural, non-profit leadership organization called Up With People. We traveled to 11 countries, 80 cities, and stayed with 65 host families along the way. We did community service in every city and performed a show to promote cultural acceptance. The group consisted of 136 young people from 27 different countries. It was the most amazing year of my life so far.
