Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Survive school and plan a crazy trip abroad.
ABOUT ME
I love to travel and experience new cultures and meet new people, speak Spanish, work with children, play basketball, write, and think how about how to make the world a better place. I have a personal affinity for Latin America and can't wait to go back. Tengo mucho tiempo estudiando español y creo que lo hablo bien :) I enjoy good conversation and even better food and beer. I'm a pretty relaxed person and get along with just about everybody. I pretty spend half my days planning imaginary vacations...
PHILOSOPHY
I think it's very important for all of us to get out of our comfort zone once in awhile and realize that we live in a world that's much bigger than ourselves. I think traveling is incredibly important and beneficial so long as you actually make an effort to get to know the people, culture, and language of where you're going. I love laying on a tropical beach as much as the next person, but I probably will spend more time talking to taxi drivers.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all kinds of good movies. Lately, I've been watching a lot of foreign movies to keep my Spanish sharp. The Wire is the greatest show ever, and I also strangely like the show Bones. As far as music goes I am open to everything. At the moment I listen to a lot of J. Cole, Perrozompopo, El Clubo, and acoustic guitar. Reading is also great, but I rarely have time to read for pleasure anymore.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Chichén Itzá was overwhelmingly cool.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a very open person and love to share my experiences and hear those of others. I'm down for learning and trying anything, and value good relationships.
