About Me

CURRENT MISSION

peace corps health and life skills teacher in Moldova

ABOUT ME

Im a peace corps volunteer living in Moldova, a small, post-soviet country landlocked between romania and the ukraine. I work as a health and life skills volunteer in a high school, local hospital, and community, with host country nationals.

I like: ice cream, built to spill, crayons, peeps, traveling, meeting people and bunnies. (they eat bunnies in moldova, I only eat the marshmallow ones.)

I dont like: that peeps are a seasonal candy.

PHILOSOPHY

"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don´t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don´t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth acress the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don´t go back to sleep." -Rumi

A glass of red wine a day.
