College student trying to travel as much as possible. I spent a gap year in India before freshman year and am excited to be in Europe this summer. I like unstructured time, long walks without destinations, chatting over a cup of tea, petting dogs.

CURRENT MISSION
Travel and learn!

PHILOSOPHY
Life is a source of wonder.

"Walk slowly; drink lots of water." ~Murakami

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One (not very) cold day in India, I witnessed a concerned citizen dressing her young goat in a sweater. The only person happier than me about the arrangement was the goat. He looked great.
