ABOUT ME

Born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, USA to two Americans! I'm Italian, Welsh, German and Greek! I already get quite a bit of Italian culture from my dad's side as I'm almost half Italian. I feel bad for people who don't get to have Italian food on holidays (It's the BEST). I am young yet by most people's standards. I'm 20, and I'm one of 4 girls. Let's just say I know how to use a hairbrush ;) I'm a middle child who has grown up in a middle class family. I work for everything I have, as my parents have taught me.

I am determined. I am opinionated. I am open to the differences of the world. I am itching to learn of different cultures and teach others about mine. I would like to see stereotypes of different cultures dispelled as well as show others that not all 'those americans' are the same.
I am a second year university student currently studying abroad in Birmingham England. I am studying zoology in hopes of doing field/reservation work around the world.
I love meeting new people. I want to be taught something- and just as well, I'd like to teach others. Although some may disagree, I think a lot can be learned from American culture. I have already found by living abroad (in England) that I do things very differently from this part of the world. I am growing and changing each day. I love learning about different cultures. I tend to go the extra mile and get my hands dirty rather than just read about a culture and look at pictures.
I am a very honest person. As a strong believer in Karma I do my best to treat others how I would like to be treated. I have had far too many experiences in my life where Karma has manifested itself to me to not believe that what you put out comes back to you. This is one of the reasons I joined the CS community. I want to spread the light in a world that media often paints as very dark.

PHILOSOPHY

By dispelling ignorance, we dispel hate.

兴趣

Music, Culture, Religion, Travel, Wildlife. I enjoy learning. I love learning new things every day. I love going out, meeting new people and having a good time. Being in England has brought me a new addiction to the dance clubs. I LOVE going out dancing and getting dressed up for a day/night on the town. I play guitar, sing and write a bit of my own music as well. I'm extremely passionate about music! LOVE IT!
As a Zoology major I am extremely passionate about all of Earth's creatures. I am curious about nature and embrace it fully.
Oddly enough (to most I guess) I also am passionate about Holistic living. I have versed myself in holistic alternatives (vitamins, minerals, herbs). I absolutely adore teaching others about healthy alternatives that have changed my life!

音乐、电影和书籍

I enjoy a good laugh. I also enjoy a good message. Life Is Beautiful is probably my favorite movie at this point in my life. There are far too many comedies to even try to begin listing. I play guitar, sing and write. I enjoy being around other artists no matter what your specialty is. Music, painting, skateboarding- I don't care. If you are passionate I support you fully.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Living abroad is changing my life. I have spent a few weeks in Italy (loved it!) as well as traveled quite a bit around England. I'm embarking on a mass travel this April to a lot of other countries! Let's get together! <3
