About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to add life to my days, not days to my life

ABOUT ME

I graduated from university in May 2009 and spent the year after that in Africa. I spent half of the year living in Grahamstown, South Africa, and the other half of the year backpacking in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Namibia. From January 2011 through March 2013 I am a Peace Corps Volunteer in Panama.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't waste your time doing something that doesn't excite you.

Interests

I love traveling, reading, writing, photography, soccer, playing with little kids, the sun, and going barefoot.

Music, Movies, and Books

As much as I enjoy movies and TV while at home, I can live without them while traveling. I definitely can't live without books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Way too many things! Bungee jumping in South Africa, swimming in the Dead Sea, clubbing in Berlin... I enjoy any kind of new experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn whatever anyone can share, anything from a language to a sport to a unique way of looking at life. I hope to never stop learning about and experiencing other cultures.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Swaziland, Tanzania, Turkey, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe

Countries I’ve Lived In
