Music, Movies, and Books

So many! I love to read and am a big Kerouac fan. I also really enjoy reading anything from the Lost Generation like Hemingway, Fitzgerald, etc. I'm really passionate about film and like so many movies but Good Will Hunting and Dead Poet's Society are some of my all time favorites. Music varies so much...I really like so many different kinds and will always take suggestions from people seriously.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Navigated with friends through the Souk in Marrakech, Morocco and all of my experiences living as either a student or language assistant in France.
