CURRENT MISSION

Be impulsive and embrace opportunity

ABOUT ME

I am from a small town in New York right on the border of Massachusetts. I grew up around farms and trees, but moved to the big apple for college. I passionately love New York City, but I couldn't survive there without such a beautiful place to go home to. I am a chronic optimist and love meeting new people. Nothing makes me happier than new friends and a good unplanned adventure.

When I am abroad, I want to become fully immersed, travel light, and have amazing stories to tell.

My first big travel adventure starts this June. I will spending this summer traveling and studying in Madrid, Spain. And then I fly to Buenos Aires, Argentina for the fall semester. Can't Wait!

PHILOSOPHY

The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim, is a sin. - Benjamin Mays

I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower. ~Author Unknown

It's still possible to be a cockeyed optimist these days - you just have to be a little more cockeyed. ~Robert Brault
