ABOUT ME

I'm (a):

thinker, philosopher, open-minded, independent, inquisitive, passionate, optimistic, realistic, and analytical.

PHILOSOPHY

In every situation or environment, I like to absorb as much as possible, whether it be the beauty of people or nature, the ideas, passion, or emotions of an individual, or simply the calmness and serenity of a moment.

For me the most important thing is to be open-minded and respect everyone, regardless of the circumstances. This "difference" between people is what makes an individual truly beautiful as a human being. And all humans as well as nature deserve respect.

Although we all may be unique biologically, socially, and psychologically (to a certain degree of course), we are all of the same species, living on the same planet and pretty much doing to same thing, thus we are all connected to one another and to nature.

I consider myself very calm, peaceful, a free-spirit, independent person who loves to explore and not take petty things too seriously; life is too short to worry too much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking with my friend from England to Holyhead was truly amazing, and our first time. Everything went so smoothly and the people that picked us up were wonderful!

I studied abroad for 3 weeks in August 2010 in Bolivia. This experience has changed me in ways that are difficult to explain. It is such a beautiful and unique country, and I will never forget such an experience. I left my heart in Bolivia!

I have a true love for Mexico City. Out of all the cities I've explored, this one stole my heart!

Hiking the Pacaya volcano in Guatemala (in my sandals) was an unforgettable experience.
