About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to broaden my horizons
ABOUT ME
I'm a 22 year old college student from the San Francisco Bay Area. I recently spent a year studying abroad in France, and my experiences were nothing short of life-changing. I've learned so much about the world and other perspectives. While I love and appreciate where I come from, I am eager to explore new places, encounter new people, and experience all that this world has to offer.
I'm studying political science, because I find that politics is one of the most relevant topics of our current era. Everything about politics interests me - local to international. But I'm aware that not everyone likes it, so it's not usually a conversation point with me.
My hobbies include running, traveling, cooking, and reading.
I'm very easy going, outgoing, optimistic, and honest. I enjoy meeting the same types of people and sharing experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I ran a marathon in 5 hours 14 minutes. It was an incredibly surreal experience, and it's something I can't wait to do again.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm very active; I love running and biking. In my opinion, being physically active is as fundamental an aspect of life as is sleeping or eating.
I love to exchange cooking tips and recipes.
I may not have seen the whole US, but I know California very well. I would be more than happy to give you advice/travel tips/etc. about California!
