CURRENT MISSION

Looking to travel in order to learn new languages and grow in as many ways as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young professional who is looking to travel in order to learn new languages and experience other cultures. I'm at a point in my life where I have the freedom to explore the world and meet new people and I'm excited to take advantage of this opportunity. Prior to this phase of life, I lived in Chicago for six years while working in the corporate world for a prominent education company. In addition, I recently obtained my TEFL teaching certificate to teach English as a second language; I'm eager to begin tutoring/teaching along with my other ventures. I'm also Interested in writing about, and photographing my adventures and will be posting things on my website: http://youplanet.com/user/12563

Finally, I'm a Jesus-follower so I'm looking for a church community and friends while I'm in Buenos Aires and wherever I end up after. I'm always looking to love God and others better.

PHILOSOPHY

My life flows from loving God; I like a good laugh, especially the ones you try to hold in; even though I'm shy I like to live boldly and with passion; my close friends make my life better.
