Knowledge without borders

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, accommodating and active native of Minnesota in the United States. I love meeting new people, testing out my language skills and learning others' life stories. I am a recent graduate of Macalester College, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with a B.A. degree in Anthropology and Community & Global Health currently on a Fulbright Scholarship in Rabat, Morocco.

Interests

First and foremost, I really enjoy traveling. I have a strong interest in learning languages and experiencing new cultures. I enjoy coffee-shopping and reading (some of my favorite books including The Hobbit, 1984, and House of Leaves). I also love outdoor activities, such as biking, canoeing, camping, hiking and swimming in natural bodies of water.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few travel highlights include:
