CURRENT MISSION

Discover and explore people, places, food... experience what I can and appreciate it as much as it deserves to be appreciated

ABOUT ME

I am a college student currently studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain - I'm originally from the state of Maryland, in the United States. I'm new to traveling alone, but hope to 'suck the marrow' out of my experience! I love being active - whether it's sports, or hiking and backpacking and camping, or discovering new places. I'm reserved but easily excited, sometimes shy, but often really energetic and I love learning new things! I am very excited to have the chance to travel across Europe and meet new people, and I want to experience it to the fullest!

PHILOSOPHY

Breaking out of the shell, living actively

Música, películas y libros

The Flaming Lips are my favorite musical group. I enjoy experiencing / learning about all kinds of music but will go to the ends of the earth to hear the Flaming Lips!! I also like something from every type of music: classical, jazz, rock, african, rap, .. there's a lot to love!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Seen Castellers in Barcelona - the closest I can come to describing it is human people stacking. The entire community holds up people stacked 5 or 6 high, and little girls climb to the top of the 'stack!'
