CURRENT MISSION

See the country by train, meet scads of lovely people, and travel slow!

ABOUT ME

I am traveling across the country on the train before starting grad school in Urban Planning at Tufts University in Boston. I studied Philosophy in undergrad at Connecticut College. I contradance, read, try to live simply and slowly, and I used to play a lot of Ultimate Frisbee. I love meeting new people, and I can be whatever kind of guest you want, except for the kind who does crazy party things with you all night every night. A little revelry is fun, but I need my shut-eye as well.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing, without exception, is to enjoy yourself as much as possible without harming others. Don't worry! Things will usually turn out for the best. Trust yourself, you're smart and adaptable. Thus, do what you enjoy, but don't forget to think about the future and about other people, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled around Europe for 3 weeks on the train by myself, spending an average of 1-2 nights in each city. Driven around Rome by a crazy young Italian host. Participated in the Beltane Fire Festival then climbed Arthur's Seat the following morning. Miraculously happened upon my old roommate and prospective host while wandering around Heidelberg looking for him (we had miscommunicated).
