About Me

I'm a very politically active person, I participate in and organize events around social justice. Initially I'm often in my head a lot. Although I can be quiet, I do enjoy meaningful conversations.

I love traveling and getting to know local customs. I always make it a point to get lost in any city I visit. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories.

I like to read anything, I play bass and guitar, I love singing although I'm really not that good, I write poetry, I'm a sucker for local shows and live music, I love to travel.
