ABOUT ME

I love meeting people and am open to trying new things. I consider it very important to be respectful of other cultures and place even more importance on putting in the effort to learn about other cultures. This is what lead me to my love for travelling. I'm easy going, friendly and ready to go out and have fun but I also enjoy some down time to read and reflect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First moment that I can think of is when I saw the sunrise at the peak of Mt. Acatenango, a volcano in Guatemala. It was the coldest I have ever been but it was the most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen, making it all worth it.

Another moment was in the market in Cairo, Egypt. It was two summers ago during the Fifa world cup, my roommate and I were looking for a place to sit and watch the game. The market was packed full of people and finally we saw a family, selling knick knacks, watching the game on a small tv. They could see us watching from around the corner and invited us to sit with them. They gave us their front row seats and a couple of juice boxes and chocolate bars to enjoy. Their generosity was definitely awe inspiring.
