About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to learn about as many cultures and languages as I can. I have a goal to visit or live in every country on this Earth and would love to make either international or domestic friends to share those experiences with.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student studying International Studies in New York City but originally from Los Angeles. I love traveling but most of the time my wallet reprimands me for it. My goal in life is to travel and live in as many countries as possible. I also have an awesome cat.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life with no regrets and no fear. Everything happens for a reason so you should just embrace life as it comes to you. Although, you should also try to experience as many things as possible.

Interests

I really enjoy long-distance running, hot yoga, dancing ballet, rock climbing, and snowboarding. The thing that grabs my attention are small acts of kindness that people think go unnoticed, but to me they don't.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The feeling after accomplishing the longest distance you've ever ran.
