About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to see as many places I possibly can, meet as many new people as I possibly can, eat as much new food as I possibly can, hear as much new music I possibly can. I want to see and do it all! And if I can help anyone else with that, I'm ready!

ABOUT ME

First of all, I hate self descriptions. The pressure of having to be clever and witty without sounding vain just about kills me. I studied Special Education in college and am currently a Peace Corps volunteer in China. WOOHOO! Really, what else would you like to know?
