CURRENT MISSION

To live as full and adventurous a life as possible!

ABOUT ME

Well, first and foremost my name is Allison, or Allie, whichever you prefer. Although I have a bachelors in History and German, I am currently studying pre-med at The College of Charleston and applying to medical schools and PhD programs in regenerative medicine. I am also currently training and competing in triathlons, learning spanish, and trying to stay as sane as possible!

I love to learn... about people, places, cultures, languages and everything in between. I want to make the most out of my life as possible. I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United States and hope to continue that trend throughout the rest of my life.

I live for both spontaneity and simplicity. I want more than anything to make a change in this world, and in the lives of others. I'm not one hundred percent sure what I want to do, but I am certain that I want to do everything. I am still figuring out my self, but I learn a little bit every day.

I love verbs. Traveling, learning, reading, writing, running, skiing, surfing, climbing, cooking, eating, drinking, exploring, watching, meeting, talking, loving.
I also love adventures, the ocean, animals, the outdoors, iced coffee, wine, tattoos, thunderstorms, freshly washed sheets, cuddling, frozen yogurt, and lazy weekends.

I want to be a hippie, a free-spirit. I'm working on it... everything, that is.

Be my friend. Let's get coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
-John Lennon

Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever.
-Mahatma Ghandi

This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples;
no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness.
- The Dalai Lama

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skied St. Moritz. It was hands down the best skiing, and the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. And having to get search and rescued from the side of a cliff was an experience... terrifying, but it makes for a pretty good story.
