CURRENT MISSION

See places, do things, meet people.

ABOUT ME

I studied abroad in Costa Rica one summer, and since then, I have been traveling every chance I get. I finished university in May 2011, spent the summer as an au pair in Madrid, moved to Geneva, Switzerland for the year, and am now back in Madrid for the summer.

I am friendly and easygoing, and love to meet new people. I love to try new things, and think that it is best to learn new things from someone who is really passionate about them. You can often pick up their love for the activity/idea.

PHILOSOPHY

Live now
Don't be a jerk.
Before you say no, always ask, "why not?"
