Overview
About Me
I just graduated from university in the USA in May 2015, and now I'm going to be travelling around the world for as long as I can! My first major trip will be to India starting in November '15.
I'm super interested in physics, science, tech, programming and occasionally more wholesome things like hip hop music and street art.
