About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a adventurous girl that's down for anything. I like to travel and be spontaneous, and I'd love to be able to speak French, German, and Italian. I'm a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, but I'm studying in Granada, Spain right now. My friends would describe me as off-the-wall crazy and outgoing, but at the same time they would say that I'm the responsible one.

Things I like:
- Easy going people who like to have a good time
- Pizza and beer/wine
- Chocolate banana milkshakes
- Playing tennis, skiing, and snowboarding
- "The Office"

Things I dislike:
- People who are rude and think they're better than everyone else
- Ham, I know I live in Spain, but I absolutely hate CERDO
- Being extremely late to things

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
