CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out how I can do the most good.. while enjoying life and finding beautiful people and beautiful places.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student at UMass Amherst. I love to travel and meet wonderful people, and speak wonderful languages.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that it's so important to be open. If you can't listen to people, take what they have to say and process it through your own beliefs, you can't get to know anybody or develop your views.
I try to meet as many new people as possible, and I love to make friends wherever I go. I think it's had a valuable impact on my personality and my life.

Interests

I love books, music, movies, travel. I also love to have a good time and am open to pretty much everything.
