CURRENT MISSION

to live life deliberately

ABOUT ME

I am a United States & United Kingdom citizen, and went to university in Madrid, Spain for 4 years. I am now in Indonesia until June 2015 on a fellowship to teach English. I love to travel and make friends, and am trying to travel to all 7 continents before I turn 25 (I am currently 22). I consider myself the "jack of all trades & master of nothing." I have been a vegetarian since I was 5 years old, and I am an animal and nature lover. I am working towards a career in human rights. I love learning new things. Although I am not great at learning languages- I love speaking them. I speak Spanish pretty much fluently, and am now learning Bahasa Indonesia.

PHILOSOPHY

"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance"

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
