Hi there, my name is Charlene. I'm a go-lucky, free spirited person. I'm joining this website so I can meet cool, like minded people who are interested in traveling. I'm currently beginning my graduate studies in public policy this fall. I'm passionate about my work, and I love nature documentaries and yoga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked for the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016. Ask me how we screwed up so badly! I promise I have an opinion ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've done all sorts of things in my life, including environmental engineering, healthcare work, worked on political campaigns, and implemented free, universal preschool in New York City. Hopefully there's something in there that I can pass on as my knowledge.
