CURRENT MISSION

Go places. See things.

ABOUT ME

I'm terrible at profiles.I'm 22, and really enjoy traveling. Honestly, I'd be quite content if I was just dropped in a random country. I've lived in Groningen, the Netherlands and Shanghai, China. I'm into a lot of different things, ranging from China/Africa relations to writing postcards to people all over the world. I also paint. And explore abandoned buildings. Eh...Oh. I also am a mini-language addict. I am currently studying Mandarin and Arabic. I like anything that is either high adrenalin or slightly dangerous...or both. Oh golly. Oh…practical things: I am a college student in my last semester studying in South Carolina, USA…I focus on business and economics nonsense with some Chinese language and literature thrown in there to keep me sane.
Things I like: photography, painting, dancing, pianos, Miranda July, Flannery O' Conner, Cormac McCarthy, random places, dirty and abandoned buildings or places, nonsensical graffiti, new people, strange experiences, languages (all of them.), awkward people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

skydiving- I saw the earth curve around me. I've survived a lot of random incidents that most people don't have to deal with. Lived in the Netherlands. Will live in China.
