CURRENT MISSION

meet new faces that are different colors than mine, that speak in a different language from mine, that are interested in different things than me, and that have seen more than I.

ABOUT ME

ambitious, outgoing, friendly, funny, open, personable, easy going, low-key, good time, smart, spontaneous

PHILOSOPHY

Here are some cheesy sayings I believe in:
Live and let live.
Everything happens for a reason.
Never give up your independence.
You make plans, and then life happens.
L'aissez les bons temps rouler.
You can always figure it out.

Interests

More so than anything, I love to travel and learn about/ see things I don't have any knowledge on. I spend a lot of free time at musical performances/ music festivals and LOVE ethnic food! Also love to cook and read although I have less time for those (and am not very good at cooking). Besides that, I'm up for a good time whatever it is; always enjoy meeting new people and going to new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Taipei this past new year's and I saw the fireworks go off from Taipei 101 (one of the tallest buildings in the world. Pretty spectacular show.

When I went to the Bahamas my senior year of high school, I went swimming with the dolphins.

I climbed to the highest point in Barcelona (Tibidabo) and watched the sun rise.

I was awestruck when I got my acceptance letter to USC :)
