CURRENT MISSION

Global havoc. Or just variety.

ABOUT ME

I am very sweet. I talk a lot to make up for actually being quite shy. I love to travel, but I'm somewhat against "tourism"- that is, the idea of intruding onto someone else's daily life just because I want to see it. So I try to act as unassuming as possible in new situations, and just go with the flow. (I really liked it when Czech people asked me for directions in Prague.)

PHILOSOPHY

I want my life to be as full of satisfying and exhilirating experiences as it can be. I am not afraid to do things that are not expected of me. I like to challenge myself all the time- whether it's going to another country completely alone or just dressing slightly differently than I normally do.

Radical change is the word. Or two.
