An introvert trying hard to push myself out of my comfort zone. I've been a Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine for 3 years now, figuring out how I can have a positive impact on the world and those around me.

Travel without human connection is meaningless-- what's the point of visiting a new place if you're viewing it from inside a bubble?

音乐、电影和书籍

Too much to list in one place. Really love science fiction and fantasy, 19th century Russian literature, but you name it, I'll read it. Have been on a nonfiction/history kick lately. Always looking for book recommendations!

Sang in a traditional Ukrainian village folk choir for two years, so I always love learning about local traditional music and singing :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went on a 26-day backpacking trip in the Sierras the summer I was 17. I have never done anything that difficult or amazing before or since.
