CURRENT MISSION

I want to experience everything I can as I study abroad in Madrid, Spain until June 2012.

ABOUT ME

I am majoring in international relations at SUNY New Paltz but will be studying in Madrid, Spain from January to July 2012. I'd like to travel and learn as much as possible while I'm in Europe. I'm really easy to get along with and always up for a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone should be able to do what they want as long as it doesn't negatively impact anyone else. I think the keys to happiness are respecting others, taking risks, and having as many life experiences as you can.
