CURRENT MISSION

College student eager to learn about the world around me, outside of the United States.

ABOUT ME

I'm a college student from New York City majoring in Political Science with minors in Africana Studies and French. I enjoy meeting new people, learning, laughing trying different types of cuisine, helping others, reading, attending plays, poetry slams, etc. etc. I love big cities and new experiences. I have typically travelled by myself since being here in Europe but have enjoyed meeting many people a long the way

PHILOSOPHY

"Good, better, best, never let it rest until your good is better, and your better is your best." - anonymous

I was taught that the world had a lot of problems; that I could struggle and change them; that intellectual and material gifts brought the privilege and responsibility of sharing with others less fortunate; and that service is the rent each of us pays for living -- the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals.
-- Marian Wright Edelman

"Without struggle there is no progress"
- Frederick Douglass
