About Me

"The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances, the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break." -J.R.R. Tolkein

I am a student, studying Urban Planning in the United States. Currently, I am in Brussels, Belgium studying Architecture until the end of June.

At this stage in my life, I think over almost anything, I am a wanderer. Discovering new places is my favourite thing to do, especially when I have enough time to relax a little and soak up their more subtle characteristics. I find myself falling in love with places everywhere that I go and leave a piece of me in these places - from the ocean, to the top of a mountain and everywhere in between.

PHILOSOPHY

"If it's both terrifying and amazing, you should definitely pursue it."

Music, Movies, and Books

I love stuff from every genre. Music rocks. I enjoy old and new, from classic rock to jazz, alternative and even a bit of rap sometimes. All sorts of stuff really.

For books I find myself gravitating towards more time pieces. The Great Gatsby is my all time favorite. I just finished reading "The Sun Also Rises" by Hemingway. Pride and Prejudice (as well as the movie) are up there on the list also.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a mountain!

Teach, Learn, Share

"ADVENTURE IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN"

Sometimes, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of things I want to learn and places I want to see, but I'm doing them! Slowly but surely :) Everyone has something to share with surfers, hosts, and friends, and I'd love to share something with you!
