About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Swimming in Ukrainian sunflowers in no more than a year

ABOUT ME

I can't believe that after the endless college applications, cover letters and grant applications that I have written in my short life, I am still unable to find an answer to this question.

PHILOSOPHY

Take risks, be humble, challenge yourself, be humble... love and let yourself be loved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good.

Learning (anything there is to learn: from how volcanoes work, to how to juggle on a unicycle), Traveling, Rock Climbing, Cooking, Dancing (West African, ballet, modern, contact), Politics, Public Policy, Economics, International Relations, Development, Music, Photography (digital and analog), languages...
