CURRENT MISSION

Meet someone in the area who speaks Spanish and wants to learn English and have coffee/tea/whatever.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and meeting new people. I'm a Latin American Studies Major at UNC Chapel Hill. I enjoy music, photography, and literature. I believe this world could use a little more openess, and I'm always interested in hearing a new perspective on what's going on in the world.

"Some may think that to affirm dialogue--the encounter of women and men in the world in order to transform the world--is naively and subjectively idealistic. There is nothing, however, more real or concrete than people in the world and with the world, than humans with other humans." -Paulo Friere

PHILOSOPHY

Way too much to say. I believe in caring about people simply because they are people. I am tired of hearing about the violence in our world and would love to see some greater solutions for society as a whole in action. I some day hope to work at a non-profit. I believe there is always something new to learn and there are so many things to do and see in the world.
